Through an exploration of the literary genre popular in the ancient world, distinguished Jesus scholar John Dominic Crossan dissects the versions we read in the Gospels to get back to what Jesus really intended to teach. Next, Crossan reveals how Jesus's use of parables inspired the Gospel writers themselves to come up with meaningful, metaphorical stories of Jesus to help them explain their own views of who they thought this Messiah really was. By unlocking the meaning and purposes of the Gospel's parables, we can arrive at a better portrait of this enigmatic and charismatic Jewish figure who transformed his world and the next two thousand years of history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Jesus Christ $x Parables. 650 0 $a Storytelling $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 630 00 $a Bible. $p Gospels $p Gospels $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 600 00 $a Jesus Christ $x Person and offices. 941 $a 13 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718090601.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220105021207.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528052046.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20190814033338.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006063602.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926015001.0 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20150514025255.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150507013736.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20140619011725.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20121025011139.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20120821010415.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20120502012048.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20120412010346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC12AB9E846411E18E1E30966AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
