Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. Size: 104x20x152; Paul's writings are laced with vivid images from the bustling New Testament world. To understand these metaphors, David J. Williams delves into that Greco-Roman world and uses ancient sources to explore a wide variety of topics such as architecture, law, commerce, health care, and education. Williams studies this world in chapters with titles such as "Life in the City, " "Family Life, " "Slavery and Freedom, " "Citizens and Courts of Law, " "Travel, " and "Warfare and Soldering." Paul's metaphors, set apart in bold type, are examined in the light of this background information and restored to their original vitality. Well-known metaphors" the Christian as a slave of Christ, the church as a body, Paul's two natures being at war within him, the Christian as an athlete striving toward the prize, Jesus' return as a thief in the night, Christians as adopted heirs of God" and lesser-known metaphors come to life for the modern reader through Williams's careful exposition. Green cloth with gold spine lettering. No writing in the book. xxv, 385pp., index. This book would make a great gift. Full refund if not satisfied.
