This monograph interprets the parable of the Prodigal Son (Lk.
15.11-32) in the light of Graeco-Roman popular moral philosophy.
Luke's special parables are rarely studied in this way, but the
results of this study are very fruitful. The unity of the parable
is supported, and it is shown to be deeply concerned with a major
Lukan theme: the right use of possessions. The whole parable is
read in terms of the moral topos 'on covetousness', and shown to be
an endorsement of the Graeco-Roman virtue of liberality, modified
by the Christian virtue of compassion.
