More Metaphors

        In the discussions that have followed Jim Adams's presentations, people have occasionally asked about biblical metaphors that were not included in the 150 that appeared in the first edition of From Literal to Literary.  Those listed on this page appear in the second edition only.  As time permits, Adams will be working on other metaphors and presenting them in this space using a format similar to that found in the book.
        Unless otherwise indicated, all the Bible quotations are from The New Revised Standard Version.
