Hi,
I am looking for literature on the scholarship of the parables of Jesus. Most of what is out there – and there is a lot – is theological literature written to inspire sermons or prayer. Can anyone recommend good books on the subject? It’s not that they can’t be theological, they just have to be intellectually curious and honest and deal with what we know about the genre, the context and the interpretation of the parables.
Thanks,
Kristian

Hi Robert,
I actually have that book in my cart at my local bookstore right now, it looked like an interesting work.
And thank you so much. Great to find a place for questions like this.
Best,
Kristian

Oh I just saw now, CEJ, I actually have that in my cart at the bookstore as well, haha. I just haven’t pressed “buy” on these yet, because it was hard to find independent recommendations. But I will take this as one. Best.
