The 'language of Canaan' is a phrase that refers to the prophetic and metaphorical language used by God's chosen people when they talk of the kingdom of God and its realization in the last days. The phrase thus refers at once to a prophetic vocabulary available to contemporary saints as they speak of the future and to the mode of discourse to be enjoyed by those saints when the Scripture promises are fulfilled.Lowance, Mason I., Jr. is the author of 'Language of Canaan: Metaphor and Symbol in New England from the Puritans to the Transcendentalists', published 1980 under ISBN 9780674509498 and ISBN 0674509498.
