The voice of Jesus Studies in the interpretation of Six Gospel Parables
Wright, Stephen I.
The voice of Jesus Studies in the interpretation of Six Gospel Parables Stephen I. Wright - Great Britian Paternoster Press 2000 - 280tr. Paperback 23cm
This book explores what it means to seek the `voice` of Jesus` in his parables through the interpretive keys of literary tropes. Through a detailed discussion of significant periods of parable interpretation, with reference to six narrative parables peculiar to Luke's Gospel, it demonstrates the continued necessity of a creative response to an intention when confronted with figures of speech. Drawing on the long tradition of interpretation, a fresh hearing of the tone of the parables as exemplary tales is suggested, rooted in both the conditions of Jesus's contemporary culture and the Old Testament Scriptures.
