Short description:
By using tools from cognitive linguistics and conceptual metaphor theory, this volume proposes an alternative to the ?indicative-imperative? schema for understanding Paul?s ethical argument in Romans 6:1-14, showing instead that Paul develops the believer?s new identity through a metaphorical narrative.
MoreLong description:
In Romans 6:1?14, Paul corrects an erroneous ethical conclusion drawn from the narrative of God's grace in Romans 3?5. This innovative study employs tools from cognitive linguistics to unveil Paul's sophisticated rhetorical strategy for resolving the "indicative-imperative" tension. By moving beyond traditional theological frameworks, the book shows how Paul presents believers? new identity as defined by a new obligation, illuminating the metaphorical narrative that undergirds Paul's logic. Readers will better understand the importance of conceptual spaces like "in sin" and "in Christ," and how Paul conceptualizes the relationship between believers and their "old selves" who have been crucified.
