- This monograph analyses the interpretation of the four occurrences of huiothesia in Galatians and Romans in light of contemporary research on metaphors. This interdisciplinary research required engagement with thousands of examples of adoption inscriptions, literary sources (in Greek and Latin) about ancient adoption over five centuries, together with the history of research on metaphors, and current research on metaphors in the field of cognitive linguistics. The monograph contributes a robust method for the interpretation of metaphors and a new reading of these four difficult Pauline texts, moving the conversation beyond the identification of the correct “background” of Paul’s language.
