Description

Book Synopsis

Professor Donahue here argues that "the parables of Jesus" offer a Gospel in miniature, while at the same time giving shape, direction, and meaning to the Gospels in which they appear. "To study the parables of the Gospels is to study the gospel in parable." After surveying recent discussions of parable, metaphor, and narrative, Donahue examines and interprets the parables of Mark, Matthew, and Luke as texts in the context of the theology of each of these Gospels. Finally, he outlines what "The Gospel in Parable" looks like and offers suggestions for the proclamation of parables today.

From the Back Cover

'Among the many fine books on the New Testament parables in recent years, Donahue's work stands out for its concentration on the meaning of the parables in their Gospel contexts. His clear and orderly interpretations are based on a thorough mastery of contemporary scholarship. Students and scholars alike can learn much about the parables and the Synoptic Gospels from this mature study.'--Daniel J. Harrington, S. J., Weston School of Theology
