Product Description

▼▲

This book brings todgether in a single volume all the modern approaches to interpreting the parables. Ten leading scholars from around the world each focus upon a different parable, and bring to bear their own special interests and expertise. The result is a fascinating range of methods and insights- to illustrate both the life and times of Jesus, and the meaning of parables for today. Although scholarly and highly valuable as a textbook of different approaches, the work is extremely readable and accessible and as engaging to the general reader as to the student or teacher.
