Publisher's Synopsis
To grasp the full significance of the peacemaking through blood imagery in Colossians 1.20b, it is necessary to investigate which frames from the Graeco-Roman and Jewish thought worlds could have been activated by the writer's metaphors as he communicated his own theological teaching. In this work, Diego dy Carlos Araújo applies insights from frame semantics and conceptual metaphor to investigate the multiple frames possibly evoked by this expression in the minds of the implied readers.
