Reseña

Can the Bible be fully understood without recognizing its literary architecture?
From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture communicates theological truth through metaphor, parallelism, prophetic imagery, symbolic vision, and carefully structured narrative forms. Yet much modern reading overlooks this literary dimension.
In When the Bible Speaks in Figures, Ángel Duarte presents a systematic academic study of the symbolic and literary language found in all sixty-six books of the Bible. Each chapter identifies key figurative texts, classifies literary devices, situates them within their historical context, and offers rigorous hermeneutical interpretation.
Rather than treating figurative language as ornament, this work demonstrates that symbolism forms an essential structure of biblical revelation. Understanding these figures does not diminish the authority of Scripture — it clarifies and deepens it.
Designed for pastors, professors, theology students, and serious readers, this volume bridges exegesis, literary criticism, and theological reflection in a coherent methodological framework.
