Though parables play an important role in the New Testament and early Christianity, nearly every aspect of the study of parables has been the subject of vigorous disagreement. This course will consider various debated issues including the definition of a parable, the interpretation of parables, and how parables relate to the study of the historical Jesus. Its aim, therefore, is to provide students with the knowledge and tools to better understand early Christian parables and frameworks within which to interpret them.
