| Description: |
The contributors to this book pursue three important lines of inquiry into parable study, to illustrate how these lessons have been received throughout the millennia. They consider the historical and material world of the parables' composition, and focus on the social, political, economic, and material reality of that world. They also seek to connect how the parables may have been seen and heard in ancient contexts and, with how they have been, and continue to be, seen and heard.
Intentionally allowing for a "bounded openness" of approach and interpretation, these essays explore numerous contexts, encounters and responses. The topics range from ancient harvest imagery and dependency relations to contemporary experience with the narratives and lessons of the parables. The study seeks to link those very real ancient contexts with our own varied modern contexts. |
