Pauline Hamartiology: Conceptualisation and Transferences : Positioning Cognitive Semantic Theory and Method within Theology, Hardback Book

Pauline Hamartiology: Conceptualisation and Transferences : Positioning Cognitive Semantic Theory and Method within Theology Hardback

Part of the Hermeneutische Untersuchungen zur Theologie series

Hardback

Description

Steffi Fabricius approaches Pauline hamartiology from a cognitive semantic perspective and combines the conventional views on Paul's understanding of hamartia as an action, a personification, and as a power into a conceptual metaphorical network.

By using the theories of conceptual metaphors and blending on biblical texts and their hermeneutical interpretation regarding fundamental-theological issues, a discussion is opened on why traditional methods are insufficient to cover hamartia extensively.

The author not only reveals a revised concept of Pauline hamartia, but more importantly aims at a theological evaluation of cognitive semantics and its ontological foundation of embodied realism via relational ontology and the concept of metaphor as transfer, hoping to broaden the interdisciplinary discourse between systematic theology and cognitive linguistics.
