Whilst it is true that Jesus' parables are timeless, speaking to
all people in all ages and cultures, they are essentially Middle
Eastern stories set in a culture very different from our own. They
really only make sense when understood in their oriental setting.
Without seeing them as skilfully crafted oriental stories, we will
miss their beauty and the impact of their message. This book sets
out to ask the question: How did the original listeners understand
the parables when they were first told by Jesus? It does this by
setting the stories of Jesus in their cultural background and
explaining the parables as they originally intended to be
understood.
