This monograph points in that direction and is a cognitive linguistic exploration of pastoral metaphors in a wide range of patristic texts, presenting them as variants of THE CHURCH IS A FLOCK network. Such metaphors or blends, rooted in the Bible, were used by Patristic writers to conceptualize a great number of particular notions that were constitutive for the early church, including the responsibilities of the clergy and the laity, morality and penance, church unity, baptism and soteriology. This study shows how these blends became indispensable building blocks of a new religious system and explains the role of conceptual blending in this process. The book is addressed to biblical and patristic scholars interested in a new, unifying perspective for various strands of early Christian thought and to cognitive linguists interested in the role of conceptual integration in religious language. 606 $aChristian literature, Early$xHistory and criticism 610 $aConceptual blends. 610 $aEarly Christian writers. 610 $aPastoral. 610 $aPatristics. 615 0$aChristian literature, Early$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a270.101/4 700 $aGomola$b Aleksander$01604543 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824716303321 996 $aConceptual blending in early Christian discourse$93929437 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01117nam0 22002771i 450 001 UON00018084 005 20231205102004.437 010 $a06-910730-0-7 100 $a20020107d1985 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aUS 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aJerusalem$eThe Holy City in the Eyes of Chroniclers, Visitors, Pilgrims, and Prophets from the Days of Abraham to the Beginnings of Modern Times$fF.E.
