Dear 'mr' members, I have just finished reading Janet Soskice's, Metaphors and Religious Language (Oxford, 1985). Very helpful to me as I continue to research the medical metaphorical language (derivative of the "Christus medicus" motif) in early medieval soteriology. Can anyone recommend more recent publications on the subject? I would be most grateful. cheers, Natalie Molineaux %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
