The Parables - Jewish Tradition and Christian Interpretation (Paperback)

Fully one-third of Jesus' words in the Synoptic Gospels occur in
parables. It could be said that knowing the parables is essential
for understanding the person of Christ. In this work, Brad Young
displays his unique perspective as a scholar steeped in both Jewish
and Christian studies. While parables have timeless messages,
reinterpretations in new contexts throughout the centuries have
distorted the original meanings and undermined the essence of what
Jesus intended for his initial listeners. Young examines the
parables that best illustrate the parallels between the rabbinic
and Gospel parables. He challenges readers to remember that
first-century Judaism was not merely the backdrop for Jesus'
teachings but the very stage from which Jesus delivered the message
of the kingdom. Jesus' ethics and theology can be properly
understood only in the light of first-century Jewish teachings.
Young focuses on the historical development and theological
significance of parables in both traditions and examines five
theological subjects that are dealt with in parables: prayer,
grace, reconciliation, calling, and sovereignty.
