In his letters to the early Christian communities, the apostle Paul
left for Christians of all time an array of powerful images: from
the pain of a thorn in the flesh to the tenderness of a nursing
mother for her children, from the competition on an athletic field
to the growth of an agricultural field. In The Power of Images in
Paul, Raymond Collins explores how Paul uses the ordinary to
describe what is extraordinary, how Paul skillfully uses a wide
range of metaphors as a means of both persuasion and clarification.
But this book is more than an analysis of Paul's images themselves.
Collins also examines how Paul deliberately draws from secular as
well as religious and biblical themes in order to draw a culturally
diverse audience into relationship with Christ. Entering Paul's
world with Collins, readers will better appreciate Paul's use of
metaphor and, more important, be persuaded as was Paul's original
audience of God's unfailing love in Christ.
