The parables of Jesus

The many stories that Jesus told were not general ethical and spiritual teaching; they were entirely subject to his overarching message about the kingdom of God.

In this section:
  • The parables: Jesus was just being obtuse
  • Jesus’ parable of the wicked tenants: an exercise in narrative-historical hermeneutics
  • The parable of the good Samaritan and the plight of Israel
  • Who is the father in the parable of the prodigal son?
  • Make for yourselves friends of unrighteous mammon: the parable of the self-serving business manager
  • So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you: the parable of the unforgiving slave
  • The parable of the wedding feast and the man without a wedding garment
Go to top level

What's getting attention today...

Who was the man without a wedding garment at the wedding feast?
Can anyone recommend a seminary that embraces narrative theology?
Why does Jesus give the kingdom back in the end and become subject again to God?
Why did Jesus instruct his disciples not to preach the kingdom of God to Gentiles and Samaritans?
What did Jesus fear in Gethsemane?
