David Stern shows how the parable or mashal - the most distinctive
type of narrative in midrash - was composed, how its symbolism
works, and how it serves to convey the ideological convictions of
the rabbis. He describes its relation to similar tales in other
literatures, including the parables of Jesus in the New Testament
and kabbalistic parables. Through its innovative approach to
midrash, this study reaches far beyond its particular subject, and
should appeal to all readers interested in narrative and religion.
