Funk on Parables : Collected Essays Paperback / softback

Edited by Bernard Brandon Scott

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

Robert Funk was the major seminal influence on parable scholarship in the second part of the twentieth century.

His work on parable as metaphor led to the understanding of Jesus' parables as world-shattering.

But it went beyond the question of metaphor: Funk redefined the form of the parable, made a substantial contribution to the argument that Jesus' parables originated in Greek, worked out a scale for evaluating parables as compositions, and proposed a model for how parables gave birth to resurrection faith.

The essays in this volume, brought together for the first time, afford the reader a synoptic view of Funk's contribution?a contribution with which scholarship is only now beginning to deal.
