Israel, the community to which Jesus belonged, took its name from their patriarch Jacob. His story of exile and return was their story as well.In the well-known tale of the prodigal son, Jesus reshaped the story in his own way and for his own purposes. In this work, Kenneth E. Bailey compares the Old Testament saga and the New Testament parable. He unpacks similarities freighted with theological significance and differences that often reveal Jesus' particular purposes. Drawing on a lifetime of study in both Middle Eastern culture and the Gospels, Bailey offers here a fresh view of how Jesus interpreted Israel's past, his present and their future.… (més)

Dr. Kenneth Bailey in my opinion is one of, if not, the premier Christian writer who analyses culture through the eyes of a Middle Easter during the 1st Century. Bailey has written several books concerning the examination of this culture and parables mostly in Luke. He has the unique ability to open ones eyes to examining this scripture in an enlightened manner. Dr. Bailey brings the scripture to life and fully supports God’s Word. I highly encourage anyone to read Dr. Bailey’s books. His approach to analyzing scripture structure, “rhetoric”, can be somewhat academic and make you think you are in a college English class, but once you get through this part, the rest of the book is extremely enjoyable reading at any education level. In this book, he compares the epic story of Jacob to the Jesus’ parable in Luke 15. I promise you that you will never look at the story of the Prodigal Son in the same way. ( )

Kenneth Bailey spent forty years living and teaching in the Middle East. In the introduction to this book, he highlights the importance of the Middle Eastern perspective when reading the New Testament. He references the long tradition of translations and commentaries in Coptic, Syriac and Arabic. He also applies insight gained from contemporary traditional Middle Eastern culture.
He dedicates 4 of the 16 chapters to the parable in Luke 15: the three stories in this chapter make up one extended parable, a point he ably demonstrates in chapter 6. He spends quite a bit of time removing the interpretative barnacles that have attached themselves to these stories over the centuries. If you can read only one portion of the book, this is it!
He then goes on to explain the 51 common dramatic elements between Jacob's saga and the story of the prodigal. I could argue that some were contrived, but I haven't spent a lifetime in study like Dr. Bailey has.
In summary, I found this to be a readable and mentally stimulating book. ( )

"Inasmuch as many have undertaken to" interpret the parables, "it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account" (Luke 1:1,3) of what I have learned about Luke 15 and of how the parable of the prodigal son is a new story patterned after the saga of Jacob.
