This book argues that the gospels are in an important sense
"occasions for offense." The Jesus of the gospels is a scandal
(skandalon, in the original Greek) and he is never more scandalous
than when he is speaking in parables. Interpreters of the gospels
over the centuries have consistently labored to domesticate the
offense or to eliminate it entirely. David McCracken, focusing on
parables, Matthew's narrative contexts, and the gospel of John,
seeks to recover the gospels' sense of Jesus as skandalon. To this
end, he enlists the help of Kierkegaard, the philosopher of
offense, and to a lesser extent that of Bakhtin, both of whom prove
to be surprisingly apt conversation partners for the evangelists.
