Metaphor and incarnation

Definitely worth thinking about, especially as it connects with the research on metaphor and language which in turn begins to connect with philosophy. Post Modern Christianity: The Future of the Church and Post Modern Ministry in the 21st Century: "we exist in metaphor. Metaphor meets us where we are. Indeed, God is more real in metaphor than in any previous theology or doctrine. As we increasingly weave the metaphoric web in which we are embedded, we will increasingly witness its signs of Truth.

The future belongs to the language of metaphor—or, more to the point, to the Presence of the Other within metaphor. And, as that Presence—that 'Word'—becomes 'flesh,' Christ returns to His rightful place in our postmodern world."
