by Barry Stephenson (Author)
Christianity, Metaphor, and the Urge to Truth explores the role of metaphor in Christian thought. In it Barry Stephenson challenges the secularized consciousness that often dismisses symbolic thinking, delving into foundational Christian concepts such as sin, atonement, Christology, and divine violence through the lens of metaphor theory and philosophical anthropology. Drawing on the insights of Hans Blumenberg, the book invites readers to reengage with the enduring relevance of religious ideas in a way that transcends rigid literalism, offering a nuanced approach to understanding Christianity in the modern world.
