Publisher Description For far too long, Lauri Thuren argues, the parables of Jesus have been read either as allegories encoding Christian theology - including the theological message of one or another Gospel writer - or as tantalizing clues to the authentic voice of Jesus. Thuren proposes instead to read the parables "unplugged" from any assumption beyond those given in the narrative situation in the text, on the common-sense premise that the very form of the parable works to propose a (sometimes startling) resolution to a particular problem. Thuren applies his method to the parables in Luke with some surprising results involving the Evangelists overall narrative purposes and the discrete purposes of individual parables in supporting the authority of Jesus, proclaiming Gods love, exhorting steadfastness, and so on. Eschatological and allegorical readings are equally unlikely, according to Thurens results. This study is sure to spark learned discussion among scholars, preachers, and students for years to come. Author Biography Lauri Thuren is professor of biblical studies in the School of Theology at the University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu. A rhetorical-critical scholar, he received his Masters, licentiate, and Ph.D. in theology from Abo Akademi University in Finland and has made advanced studies at GTU Berkeley and Uppsala University.
