Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Elements of Forcefulness in the Comparisons of Jesus: With Comparative Tables of Metaphors From the Deutero-Isaiah and Paul
The subjective source of this power lay in his consciousness that he was the unique Son of God, that he realized in himself the true messianic ideal, and that he therefore had the right to give absolute emphasis to his religious statements and to his ethical demands. This feeling is evidenced by his changing the prophetic third person to the first, and by his unhesitating revision of the sacred scriptures of his nation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores Jesus's use of metaphors in the context of his teachings and their impact on conveying his message. The author studies a collection of Jesus's teachings in the Synoptic Gospels and delves into the various metaphors he employed, such as physical objects, bodily functions and actions, social customs, family relations, and Old Testament scriptures. By examining the physical and psychological basis for Jesus's metaphorical language, the book uncovers underlying principles and patterns that reveal the essence of his parables. It analyzes how Jesus's metaphors intentionally avoided complex imagery, employed negation and reversals, combined different images, appealed to everyday sensory perceptions, and highlighted inward spiritual qualities. The book concludes that Jesus's choice of metaphors was not merely a stylistic device but an integral part of his teaching strategy, making his message accessible and powerful, effectively conveying his ethical and spiritual teachings to his listeners. This book significantly contributes to our understanding and appreciation of Jesus's teachings and provides valuable insights into the craft and effectiveness of his metaphorical language.
