Language and theology : a case study of the metaphor of breathing in John 20:22.

Mukuna, Joseph N. January 2011 (has links)
Since the blossoming of the linguistic theories in the Johannine scholarship, interest in the figurative language of John‘s Gospel has increased. In this study on John 20:22, the statement ―Jesus breathed on them‖, that is, on his disciples, is addressed as a metaphor evoking the theme of creation. It is argued that this metaphor is essential in the understanding of the ideo-theological framework of the author of the Fourth Gospel. It plays a key function in the network of Johannine metaphors. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2011.
