Tropologia: A Key to Open Scripture Metaphors

In Tropologia, one of Benjamin Keach’s most famous works, he provides a helpful guide to the various figures of speech used in Scripture, noting that the main scope of his work is “to offer some assistance towards the explaining and finding out the true sense and meaning of the Holy Scriptures.” First explaining and distinguishing various elements used—such as type, simile, metaphor, synecdoche, hyperbole, and parable—Keach aids readers in identifying these important literary devices, and understanding them in interpretation of the Bible.
