Hyperbole and the Cost of Discipleship: A Case Study of Luke 14:26

Luke 14:26 has commonly been viewed as an example of hyperbole. This article applies modern studies on hyperbole that hold as its principle criteria both a scalar property and an evaluative/expressive function. We apply these criteria, analyzing Luke 14:26 in terms of encoded language, co-text, and...

Итог:Luke 14:26 has commonly been viewed as an example of hyperbole. This article applies modern studies on hyperbole that hold as its principle criteria both a scalar property and an evaluative/expressive function. We apply these criteria, analyzing Luke 14:26 in terms of encoded language, co-text, and context. We argue that hyperbole arises from the choice to use "hate" rather than "love more than" but also that the hyperbolic usage relies on a cause for effect (emotion for emotional response) metonym. In terms of language, we show that "hate" has variant meanings that may be different in their degrees of encoding. In terms of co-text, we argue that Luke’s use of "hate" and Matthew’s use of "love more than" are relevantly chosen; in other words, they are suited to and to be interpreted against their co-texts.
