1. What figurative language term is this passage an example of?
"Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and
just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town."

Respuesta :

I would consider this a simile because it is making a comparison. It is comparing the Prophets of the 8th century to the speaker in this piece of text.
