- Title
"Abraham's Bosom" (Luke 16:22-23) as a Key Metaphor in the Overall Composition of the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.
- Authors
SOMOV, ALEXEY; VOINOV, VITALY
- Abstract
This article investigates the function of the metaphor "Abraham's bosom" (...) in Luke 16:22-23 using tools borrowed from cognitive linguistics, specifically Cognitive Metaphor Theory and Conceptual Blending Theory. We argue that the semantic components of "being in the place of honor at a feast" are essential to a proper understanding of this metaphor in the context of the parable and should be reflected in translations of this passage.
