| Resumo: | This article investigates the function of the metaphor “Abraham’s bosom” (κόλπος Ἀβραάμ) in Luke 16:22–23 using tools borrowed from cognitive linguistics, specifically Cognitive Metaphor Theory and Conceptual Blending Theory. We argue that the semantic components of “being in the place of honor at a feast” are essential to a proper understanding of this metaphor in the context of the parable and should be reflected in translations of this passage. |
