Summary:

From publisher's description: Drawing on cognitive metaphor theory, Fiva Savković examines Paul's use of calling terminology and demonstrates how Paul integrated the Israelite understanding of divine calling, redefining it as God's action to bring humans into the ékklēsía - a community that shapes its identity in relation to Jesus Christ.
