This literary study considers how the 'voice' of Jesus has been
heard in different periods of parable interpretation, and how the
categories of figure and trope may help us towards a sensitive
reading of the parables today. This book explores what it means to
seek the "voice" of Jesus" in his parables through the interpretive
keys of literary tropes. Through a detailed discussion of
significant periods of parable interpretation, with reference to
six narrative parables peculiar to Luke's Gospel, it demonstrates
the continued necessity of a creative response to an intention when
confronted with figures of speech. Drawing on the long tradition of
interpretation, a fresh hearing of the tone of the parables as
exemplary tales is suggested, rooted in both the conditions of
Jesus's contemporary culture and the Old Testament Scriptures.
