On Wednesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, MBI Professor of Bible, James Coakley joins us to point out how the scriptures are rich in themes and metaphors that interconnect with each other; they are a true study in amazing intertextual tie ins! Dr. Coakley uses the example of a spatial metaphor like "Up and Down" that is used in everyday language and also in scripture. Those who study linguistics look at how these metaphors impact meaning, and allow us to make comparisons across texts. This is just another way to freshen up our bible study!
