Mixed Metaphors: Resolving the "Eschatological Headache" of John 5
Exegetes have long puzzled over the purported clash of eschatologies in John 5:19-30--one framed by an apparent shift between figurative and literal speech in the passage. In this article I argue that the evidence for such a shift--most of it rooted in inconsistencies in the imagery and language of...

| 520 | |a Exegetes have long puzzled over the purported clash of eschatologies in John 5:19-30--one framed by an apparent shift between figurative and literal speech in the passage. In this article I argue that the evidence for such a shift--most of it rooted in inconsistencies in the imagery and language of verses 24-25 and 28-29--is weak. Literary-oriented studies of the Fourth Gospel have called attention to the dynamism and fluidity of its imagery. Metaphorical vehicles, once introduced into a given discourse, are often further developed, modified, or altogether reimagined in successive lines--a technique known as "metaphor shifting." I identify this technique as the best explanation for the discrepancies observed between verses 24-25 and 28-29. When the entire passage is read as a continuous stream of shifting and interpenetrating metaphors, it contains no sudden clash of eschatologies and no tensions for the interpreter to resolve. Rather, the passage reads as a coherent and more complete exposition of the gospel's realized eschatology. | ||
