This book is a study of the parables unique to the Third Gospel,
aiming in particular to establish a link between Luke's choice of
these parables and his overall purpose in writing. In comparison to
the synoptic kingdom parables, one distinguishing feature of the
Lukan parables is their more personal portrait of the character and
the nature of God himself. Luke's desire is to demonstrate to his
readers, whoever they are, that in Christianity the realization of
the Jewish hope has occurred. The parables promote this idea by
offering both continuity (OT) and contrast (contemporary Judaism)
in their portrait of God. Thus, as well as operating in a parenetic
sense, the parables also help to legitimize Luke's argument
regarding fulfilment.
