Was the choice of these metaphors a random act or a carefully crafted rhetorical strategy? Did the use of metaphors shape the worldview and behavior of the Christ-followers? In this innovative work, Kar Yong Lim draws upon Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Social Identity Theory to answer these questions. Lim illustrates that Paul employs a cluster of metaphors--namely, sibling, familial, temple, and body metaphors--as cognitive tools that are central to how humans process information, construct reality.00aBible.pCorinthians, 1stxCriticism, interpretation, etc.00aBible.pCorinthians, 2ndxCriticism, interpretation, etc. 0aMetaphor in the Bible. 0aGroup identityxBiblical teaching. 0aIdentification (Religion)xBiblical teaching. 7aRELIGION / Biblical Studies / New Testament2bisacsh 7aRELIGION / Biblical Studies / Paul's Letters2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aLim, Kar YongtMetaphors and Social Identity Formation in Paul's Letters to the CorinthiansdEugene : Wipf and Stock Publishers,c2017z9781498282895403EBSCOhostuhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=1541283
