The Power of Biblical Metaphors for the Contextualized Communication of the Gospel

Abstract

This article explores how the use of biblical metaphors for salvation can be a significant aid in communication of the gospel. Metaphor is a powerful communicative tool that not only illustrates truth, but can touch emotions and can shape cognitive functions. Four New Testament images of salvation are described with examples of how they may resonate with the plausibility structures found in various cultural settings.
