Parables of the Kingdom: Jesus and the Use of Parables in the Synoptic Tradition

Coperta unu
Liturgical Press, 2007 - 191 pagini
"Do you not understand this parable?" is a question Jesus posed to his disciples (Mark 4:13). Just as the first disciples often did not understand Jesus' many parables, so it is for listeners and readers nearly two thousand years later. In Parables of the Kingdom, Mary Ann Getty-Sullivan helps readers to "hear" and "see" and "understand" the parables of Jesus. She offers a general introduction to the use of parables and the life and ministry of Jesus in the early church. In addition, Getty-Sullivan helps readers learn to interpret parables, to enter into what the parables can reveal about Jesus and his audience, about the evangelists and their communities, and about how we are to understand the Kingdom of God today.
