Thus, the disciples are \u003ci\u003eborn of the Father\u003c\/i\u003e; the Father \u003ci\u003eprovides them with bread and drink\u003c\/i\u003e (water); He \u003ci\u003eeducates\u003c\/i\u003e them and \u003ci\u003eprotects\u003c\/i\u003e them and a \u003ci\u003edwelling\u003c\/i\u003e is prepared for them, and so on. This family imagery, which is interwoven throughout the Gospel in a complex network, provides a key to the understanding of the message of the Fourth Gospel.\u003cbr\u003eIn this volume, after exploring numerous state-of-the-art theories on metaphor, a customised metaphor theory is developed from the Fourth Gospel itself, which can be applied to the analysis of the Gospel as a whole. The theory is based on two of the best-known metaphors in the Fourth Gospel: \u003ci\u003eI am the Good Shepherd\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eI am the True Vine\u003c\/i\u003e. Subsequently, all other metaphors are analysed according to this theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan G.
