Description

Praise for the First Edition:
"An exceptionally fine book that midwives the movement from the narrowness of biblical literalism to the expansiveness of biblical literacy - a very relevant resource for recovering the rich resonances of biblical and Christian language."
         - Marcus Borg

The newly updated second edition of this professional reference tool examines over 165 biblical metaphors - 15 of which are new - and includes an index to Hebrew and Greek words, an index of Bible citations, and a pronunciation guide for transliterated Hebrew and Greek words.  Will be useful for sermon preparation and Christian education, especially adult Bible study groups.

James Rowe Adams is founder and former president of The Center for Progressive Christianity.  He has been an Episcopal priest for 48 years, serving as rector of  St. Mark's Church on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. until his retirement.

The second edition of this essential reference contains over 165 biblical metaphors ideal for sermon preparation and Christian education.
