This class will examine the nature and form of Jesus’ parables and their various interpretations. Methods range from historical- and literary-critical analysis to autobiographical, liberationist, post-colonial, and ideological criticisms. Students will also explore the nuances of the Greek text. |

| Lernziele |
1. Students will identify and address the major exegetical issues, including text-critical and translation issues, that emerge from a critical reading of the parables;
2. Students will learn the traditional understandings (through the centuries) of the parables as well as the new interpretations derived from both historical-critical, liberationist, and personal-spiritual approaches;
3. Students will consider how anti-Jewish stereotypes have deformed understandings of the parables;
4. Students will address how the parables function today for good news (euangellion).
