This project examines the power of metaphor, asking whether metaphor has a role to play in spiritual transformation (as in conversion and growth). A model of spiritual transformation is developed from the work of Loder, Sobrino, and others. Following a praxis-theory-praxis approach, it begins with a selection of metaphors taken from source material in the author's religious congregation, the Passionists. The project subjects these metaphors to careful scrutiny with the aid of symbolic anthropology (following the work of James Hernandez) and hermeneutic philosophy (following the work of Paul Ricoeur). It concludes that metaphor and spiritual transformation are related in a variety of ways, and it offers some pastoral suggestions for use of metaphors in ministry.
