Top Highlights
“How frequently does it occur in the New Testament? How many different authors show their acquaintance with it? Do the contexts in which the image appears suggest its power to dominate the Christian mind? Does the image serve to disclose a profound perception of the deeper levels of communal experience?” (Page 28)
“A third function of images is that of advancing self-understanding, whether by an individual or by a society” (Page 24)
“does not have a nature that can be readily defined simply by looking, no matter how directly, at the church itself” (Page 12)
