Focusing on the original audience's perspective, the author explores how Jesus' parables would have resonated with their first listeners within the context of Israel's self-perceptions. By examining the diverse interpretations from Gospel writers and modern scholars, the book offers fresh insights into the significance of these stories. It stands out in the crowded field of parables research by posing thought-provoking questions and emphasizing the poetic realism of the narratives, ultimately enriching our understanding of their impact on early audiences.
