Kiasan militer Perjanjian Baru

Perjanjian Baru memakai sejumlah kiasan militer dalam membahas Kekristenan, khususnya dalam surat-surat Paulus.

Dalam Filipi 2:25^[1] dan Filemon 1:2,^[2] Paulus menyebut para rekan Kristen sebagai "para rekan prajurit" (dalam bahasa Yunani, συστρατιώτῃ, sustratiōtē).^[3] Citra prajurit juga dipakai dalam 2 Timotius 2:3–4^[4] sebagai kiasan untuk keberanian, kesetiaan dan dedikasi;^[5] ini disusul oleh kiasan dari seorang atlet, yang mendorong kerja keras. Dalam 1 Korintus 9:7,^[6] citra tersebut dipakai dalam pembahasan para penggiat gereja yang menerima bayaran, dengan rujukan kiasan kepada ratio dan biaya dari seorang prajurit.^[7]

Templat:Alkitsab^[8] membahas iman, sikap baik, dan unsur Kekristenan lain sebagai zirah Allah, dan pencitraan tersebut ditiru oleh John Bunyan dalam The Pilgrim's Progress,^[9] dan beberapa penulis Kristen lain.

Pencitraan terkait muncul dalam himne-himne seperti "Soldiers of Christ, Arise" dan "Onward, Christian Soldiers".^[10]
