Description: In this volume, Richard Lischer provides an excellent guide to Jesus' parables and proposes an important distinction between reading and interpreting the parables. Lischer asserts that reading the parables offers a kind of breathing space to explore historical, literary, theological, and socio-political dimensions of the parables and their various meanings, whereas interpreting implies an expert and critical position that must be defended. Ultimately, he concludes that biblical parables undermine dominant myths called "the truth" to shine light on the Truth that is Jesus, God's presence with us.
