New Testament scholar Amy-Jill Levine on her new book on the parables of Jesus: Parables have often been domesticated. They’re taught to people as children, so they’re interpreted as children’s stories, or they become so familiar that everybody becomes bored with them, or we determine that we already know what they mean and we can move on to something more important. What I want to do is get back the provocation of the parable—get back the edginess, get back the challenge, which makes the parables more interesting, and I think it makes Jesus more profound. Do you have a favorite parable? How has it revealed itself to you more fully over time? ow.ly/Bi2Qz
