Globeedit Metafore e linguaggio religioso

"Metaphors and Religious Language" is an academic book that analyzes the metaphorical language in the sermons of two significant popes, Benedict XVI and Francis. At a time when the Catholic Church is faced with the unique situation of having two popes, the book explores how both religious leaders convey their views and concepts of faith through the use of metaphors. The author, Giulia Maria Gritsch, highlights how these metaphors not only explain abstract concepts of faith but also introduce new ideas created by the popes into the thinking of the believers. These concepts shape not only the religious discourse but also influence the individual behavior and perceptions of the faithful. Thus, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the interactions between language, faith, and identity in the modern Catholic Church.
