Extensive scholarship has been devoted to Jesus' depiction in the
Gospels, and how such depiction is influenced by the Old Testament.
Gregory R. Lanier presents a newcase for the importance of
conceptual metaphor, arguing that the Gospel of Luke employs
certain metaphors reflected in Israel's traditions-such as "horn of
salvation," "dawn from on high," "mother bird gathering Jerusalem's
children," and "crushing stone"-in order to portray the identity of
Jesus as both an agent of salvation and, more provocatively, the
one God of Israel. Setting his argument at the intersection of
three sub-fields of New Testament scholarship-early Christology,
the use of Israel's Scriptures in the New Testament, and
contemporary metaphor theory-Lanier suggests ways to overcome the
"low"-"high "binary and perceive the Gospel's Christology as
multi-faceted. Applying metaphor theory to the influence of the Old
Testament metaphors on Luke's Christology, Lanier adds
methodological rigor to the tracing of such influences in cases
where standard criteria for quotations and allusions/echoes are
stretched thin.
