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.
