Review

"'WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) is perhaps the best-known contemporary slogan for the age-old problem of how to make coherent ethical sense out of the Bible's moral content. However attractive a slogan like this might be for its simplicity, most people have come to realize that the road from sacred text to concrete application is hardly a smooth super-highway. Bonnie Howe gives us an important supplement to this taks by showing how cognitive linguistics might help reshape how we read the Bible as Scripture in moral discourse. Entering the on-going conversation about the importance of metaphor and imagination in hermeneutics and Christian ethics, she offers appreciative and evaluative critiques of the work of the Protestant New Testament scholar Richard Hays and the late Catholic moral theologian William Spohn. Howe helps refocus and redirect the Scripture and ethics conversation away from recovery, retrieval or description to a Scripture as exemplar model, in which Scripture is constantly engaging readers in moral discourse. At the same time, she offers an updated introduction to the kind of metaphor analysis methodology Mark Johnson proposed in his Moral Imagination. Christian ethicists and biblical scholars, as well as all those interested in the Scripture and ethics discussion, will be interested in, and helped by this engaging work.' James T. Bretzke, S.J., University of San Francisco"
