Tales Jesus Told: An Introduction to the Narrative Parables of Jesus
Stephen Wright
The chapters cover eighteen important parables of Jesus seeking to set them against their historical, cultural, social and political background. Wright argues that failure to do this adequately has often led Christians (academics and non-academics alike) to seriously misunderstand what Jesus was teaching. Drawing on insights from his ground-breaking PhD research on Jesus' parables, Wright's book opens up Jesus' teaching in new and imaginative ways. It is possible, says Wright, with our knowledge of life in first-century Palestine, to feel the impact of the parables afresh.
