Description
Parables as Subversive Speech: Jesus as Pedagogue of the Oppressed explores the purpose and significance of parables in the New Testament. William R. Herzog examines how these stories functioned as social analysis, providing insight into the way oppression served the interests of the ruling class.
The canonical form of the parables is scrutinized to reveal their distinction between Jesus' original intention and the purposes they were later adopted for by evangelists. Using tools from historical criticism, Herzog sheds light on the complex relationship between theology and social commentary in these stories.
