  3. Metaphors ‘The usefulness of a metaphor for rereading our own context is that it is not claimed to be a one-on-one match to “reality”... Rather a metaphor proceeds by having only an odd, playful, and ill-fitting match to its reality, the purpose of which is to illuminate and evoke dimensions of reality which will otherwise go unnoticed and therefore unexperienced.’ W. Brueggemann, Cadences of Home. Preaching among the Exiles (Louisville, Kentucky: Westminster John Knox Press, 1997), 1.
