Thuren proposes instead to read the parables `unplugged` from any assumptions beyond those given in the narrative situation in the text, on the common-sense premise that the very form of the parable works to propose a (sometimes startling) resolution to a particular problem. Thuren applies his method to the parables in Luke, exploring the Evangelist's specific narrative purposes in the use of individual parables.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Lauri Thurén</note> <subject> <topic>The Bible - NT - The Gospel of Luke</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">226.405208</classification> <classification authority="ddc">L384-T54</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780800699796</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/21/_346066694_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/21/_346066694_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070456.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
