Exploring the intersection of cognitive linguistics and early Christian texts, this monograph examines the role of conceptual blending in shaping novel meanings within early Christianity. It focuses on pastoral metaphors found in various patristic writings, highlighting their connection to the conceptual network of THE CHURCH IS A FLOCK. By analyzing these metaphors, the study aims to illuminate how they contribute to the identity and understanding of Christianity as a distinct religious system.
