of things on “time”. I’m wondering which one you’ve seen. I wrote a short piece
on conceptual metaphors of time in English and Koine Greek and how it impacts
the translation of the Biblical references to time. Is this the article you were
referring to? I’ve attached it. Please understand that it was written for a
Christian audience and presumes that worldview. I don’t have time right now to
rewrite it for a more general audience. I hope it will be of interest and help.
I found the study to be fascinating.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
