Description and Table of Contents

Description

""This rigorous study examines the metaphorical language of three important Christian poems in terms of their biblical antecedents, combining Augustinian sign theory with contemporary philosophical, theological, and literary discussions of metaphor. . . . Readers comfortable with current theories of metaphor, particularly with its theological implications for 're-vision,' will find this book rewarding.""--Christianity and Literature
