These concrete pictures with their hidden force have struck sharp and lasting impressions on our minds. Their imprint has etched itself on the language and grammar of Christian faith and Western culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy then do traditional Bible dictionaries and reference works offer so little help to explorers of the Bible's galaxy of verbal pictures? They excel in describing the climate, borders and location of Galilee or Sinai. But they are often blind to the artistic expressions and deaf to the musical meanings that echo from within the world of the biblical text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eDictionary of Biblical Imagery\u003c\/em\u003e is the first contemporary reference work dedicated to exploring the images, symbols, motifs, metaphors and literary patterns found in the Bible. More than that, it examines the Bible's universal archetypes or master images--including the plot motifs and character types that recur throughout life, literature and the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unique dictionary explores the dazzling variety in which the Word of God comes dressed in clothes of everyday life. It traces the trail of images from Eden to the New Jerusalem. It captures the plotted patterns of biblical narrative. It surveys the imaged texture of each book of the Bible. In short, \u003cem\u003eThe Dictionary of Biblical Imagery\u003c\/em\u003e is an inviting, enlightening and indispensable companion to the reading, study, contemplation and enjoyment of the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1058\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.4 x 10.24 x 7.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 02, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christianity Today Book Award (1999)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42607162654816,"sku":"9780830814510","price":104.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/bjhIMDBDZUNmeUdkN0VRL05zMGNsZz09.webp?v=1771858570","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/dictionary-of-biblical-imagery-hardcover-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
