Biblical metaphors very often come in chains,        especially in poetry, in which individual metaphors may interact in a        number of ways, e.g. they may modify, reverse, shift, and even        contradict or reinforce the previous ones. Biblical metaphors often        create families of metaphors that form a genuine repertoire of images to        think and talk about a specific target domain from multiple viewpoints.        The same source domain often inspires clusters of thoughts about a wide        variety of realities. The same “root metaphor” may run throughout an        entire book or a section of a book, emerging on the surface level of the        text in many ways and interacting with other metaphors along the text        continuum. Networks of Metaphors in the Hebrew Bible investigates        biblical metaphors not as “isolated events of discourse” but as        constantly intertwining and shaping a network of multiple interactions        between the figures.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546342269271,"sku":"9789042942103","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/networks-of-metaphors-in-the-hebrew-bible-9789042942103","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
