This volume offers an introduction to the foundations of cognitive linguistics and a guide to developing well-informed, methodologically sound cognitive-linguistic readings of biblical texts. Written for students and scholars with little or no background in cognitive linguistics, the volume uses illustrations of concepts, diagrams of mental constructs, summary tables, a glossary of terms, and examples from biblical passages to demonstrate how cognitive-linguistic concepts and methods can illuminate biblical texts in fresh and compelling ways. Finally, annotated bibliographies offer options for digging deeper into this rapidly growing area of biblical studies.
