4. Mose Ting
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskapSammanfattning : The aim of this essay is to apply the theories of metaphor from Conceptual Metaphor Theory on a work of allegorical interpretation of the Bible – more specifically, Gregory of Nyssa’s The Life of Moses – and discuss what theological questions and perspectives arises from that.
