Whether Holy Scripture should use metaphors?Objection 1. it seems that Holy Scripture should not use metaphors. For that which is proper to the lowest science seems not to befit this science, which holds the highest place of all. But to proceed by the aid of various similitudes and figures is proper to poetry, the least of all the sciences. Therefore it is not fitting that this science should make use of such similitudes.
figures:修辞手段(在此译作形象不妥)。
should not:不可。
metaphors、similitudes都可指比喻,但前者还有隐喻的意思。
圣经该不该使用比喻?
反对观点1:圣经似乎不可以用比喻。比喻对最微贱的学科适用,似乎就不太适合于地位最为尊崇的圣经。运用多样的比喻和修辞手段对诗歌这种最微不足道的学科是合适的,所以圣经使用比喻就有失体统。
