This book explores the apostle Paul´s temple, priesthood,
sacrificial, and worship language with a special interest in how
metaphors are powerful vehicles for theological transformation. The
methodology of this study combines perspectives from cognitive
linguistics, the social-sciences, and rhetorical criticism. In the
final synthesis, it is discovered that common factors among Paul ´s
cultic metaphors include an interest in devotion to God, the
significance of the body, and the potential for the reshaping of
the mind and perception.
