This inaugural volume in the Bible in Its World series offers a
comprehensive commentary on the parables of Jesus. Arland
Hultgren's outstanding work features fresh translations of the
parables in the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of Thomas, followed
by interpretive notes and commentary on the theological meaning and
significance of each parable for readers today. After an
introductory chapter on the nature of parables and their
interpretation, Hultgren studies the thirty-eight parables of Jesus
thematically, exploring in turn -parables of the revelation of God,
- -parables of exemplary behavior, - -parables of wisdom, -
-parables of life before God, - -parables of final judgment, -
-allegorical parables, - and -parables of the kingdom.- He also
discusses how the three evangelists used the parables within the
literary framework and theological interests of their Gospels. The
book ends with a close look at the parables of Jesus in the Gospel
of Thomas. Distinctive in the field for its scope of coverage and
its goal of addressing the widest possible audience, this volume
will be a valuable study resource for classrooms, churches, and
general readers.
