Encountering the Parables in Contexts Old and New
T.& T.Clark Ltd (Verlag)
978-0-567-70617-1 (ISBN)
Intentionally allowing for a “bounded openness” of approach and interpretation, these essays explore numerous contexts, encounters and responses. Examining topics ranging from ancient harvest imagery and dependency relations to contemporary experience with the narratives and lessons of the parables, this volume seeks to link those very real ancient contexts with our own varied modern contexts.
