Many thing in parables: Jesus and his modern critics

---

From the Preface: "This book is written for the average reader. It aims at summarizing the current state of parables study, at unmasking the assumptions driving the strategies by which scholars read the parables, and at clarifying a reasonable, if modest, comprehensive theory for how parables work. My hope is that these chapters will enable average readers to engage the parables for themselves as first-century fictions." (pp. ix-x) This hypothetical average reader will get along far better if, for instance, some grasp of the reader-response literary theory of Stanley Fish, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, et al., is to be found in her/his intellectual portmanteau. Which probably goes a long way to explain why no prior Amazon review has appeared for this book.
