Title: Sexual and marital metaphors in Hosea, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel
First published: 2008
Description: Sharon Moughtin-Mumby explores metaphor as a tool of persuasion in the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible. She emphasises the importance of context and challenges previous scholarship which has read such language in terms of the concept of 'the marriage metaphor' and the hypothetical background of cultic prostitution.
