Shop our store Description Shipping FAQ Parables after Jesus: Their Imaginative Receptions Across Two Millennia Jesus's enigmatic and compelling parables have fascinated their hearers since he first uttered them, and during the intervening centuries these parables have produced a multitude of interpretations. This accessibly written book explores the varying interpretations of Jesus's parables across two millennia to demonstrate how powerfully they continue to challenge people's hearts, minds, and imaginations. The Parables after Jesus covers more than fifty imaginative receptions from different eras, perspectives, and media, including visual art, music, literature, science fiction novels, plays, poetry, sermons, politics, theologians, biblical scholars, and other modes of interpretation, including perspectives from other religious traditions. The book shows how the use of Jesus's parables affects society and culture and offers a richer appreciation for Jesus's most striking teachings. Readers will begin to understand how contemporary interpretations of the parables stand on the shoulders of centuries of conversations and that our interpretations are never independent of the readings and responses that have preceded us. The Parables after Jesus will serve as an excellent supplemental text for a variety of courses. Contents Introduction 1.

The books we sell are known as bargain books. They are books that either are overstocks from the publishers or ones that went out to a Christian bookstore or major department store and were returned to the publisher when they did not sell. They are not used, though sometimes have cover wear. The publishers sell these at a great discount in bulk. We buy these and sort through them to grade their condition. You will note that many of the books are in new condition, but others have other conditions noted. We try to describe them as accurately as possible. What is a remainder book? A remainder book is a brand new book that the publisher would like to get rid of because of overstock, discontinuing the book, etc. The publisher will sell these books in bulk to bargain book dealers at a low cost, allowing us to sell to you. Some publishers will put a line or dot on the on the bottom outside page edges to indicate that it is a remainder book. This keeps the "new" book prices higher and does not allow retailers to return them to the publisher. Other publishers do not mark them in any way. Some of the books we sell have a remainder mark, but many do not. Please complete the eBay checkout process within 5 days.
