  • “Metaphor as Muse: How Preaching Incarnates the Religious Ethos” is a rhetorical analysis of metaphors used in preaching that is designed to reveal the trajectory of Unitarian Universalist values. The study, grounded in linguistics and language theory, examines fifty contemporary and denominationally significant sermons delivered over a ten-year period. The findings reveal that the sermon metaphors reflect the faith’s basic values, but they do so in ways that are conflictual. The metaphors are less prevalent, more commonplace, and more narrowly interpreted than might be expected in Unitarian Universalist preaching. The major implication of the study is that the overall metaphorical thrust of Unitarian Universalism is towards issues related to social justice and away from metaphors of transcendence, suggesting a de-ontologized and de-cosmologized emphasis.
