Metaphors in the Discussion on Suffering in Job 331 (Hardcover)

Hardcover. In Metaphors in the Discussion on Suffering in Job 331, Hanneke van Loon offers a new approach to the theme of suffering in the book of Job. Her analysis of metaphors demonstrates that Job goes through different stages of existential suffering in chapters 314 and that he addresses the social dimension of his suffering in chapters 17 and 19. Van Loon claims that Jobs existential suffering ends in 19:25, and that chapters 2331 reflect a process in which Job translates his own experience into a call upon the audience to adopt a new attitude toward the unfortunate ones in society. The theoretical approach to metaphors is based on insights from cognitive linguistics. In Metaphors in the Discussion on Suffering in Job 331, Hanneke van Loon analyzes metaphors to describe the development of Jobs conceptualization of his suffering. The theoretical approach to metaphors is based on insights from cognitive linguistics. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
