Biblical passages take on new life and meaning as Ken McElhanon reveals the concrete metaphors underlying some otherwise bland translations. Who knew there was a biblical metaphor for 'walking in a container'—a strange expression in English, yet one that opens up whole areas of biblical truth? You will be fascinated and delighted by the riches of this book.

We cannot talk without using language metaphorically. Ken McElhanon drives this point home with a brilliant "walk" through the Scriptures. He demonstrates that metaphorical conceptions are relevant to theological and exegetical studies. His knowledge of linguistics, Greek and anthropology provide metaphorical nuances that are often overlooked in traditional Bible studies and commentaries. His book should be required reading at seminaries and Bible schools and especially for Bible translators.
