Description
2022 Catholic Media Association first place award in scripture: academic studies
In this book, which covers all of Jesus parables, award-winning author Gerhard Lohfink takes a closer look at the origins of each oneits shape, its realistic details, but most of all its original message and the situation into which it was once spoken. Jesus parables speak in bold images of the kingdom of God, making it present to us as they reveal something of the mystery of his own person.
Lohfink also offers a review of some of the scholarship in this areaas this topic has sustained research on Jesus since the first telling of these storiesbut not for the purposes of debate. His reflections interpret the forty parables and show how they speak of the coming of the reign of God, lead us to Jesus, and reveal the mystery of Jesus himself.
