Like a bride adorned Reading metaphor in John's Apocalypse Lynn R. Huber - New York T & T Clark International 2007 - 221tr. Paperback
`In contrast to views that suggest Revelation's metaphorical language is simple adornment, Lynn R. Huber argues that Revelation's persuasive power resides within the text's metaphorical nature, and she articulates a method for exploring how Revelation employs metaphor to shape an audience's thought. Like a Bride Adorned: Reading Metaphor in John's Apocalypse engages one set of conceptual metaphors in relation to Revelation's literary and social-historical milieu. Specifically, Huber explores the conceptual metaphors under-girding Revelation's nuptial or bridal imagery. Nuptial imagery serves as one of the text's final-arid arguably one of its most important-characterizations of the Christian community.`
