NO OF PAGES: 846 SUB CAT I: Parables SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Stories with Intent offers pastors and students an accessible and comprehensive guide to Jusus' parables. Klyne Snodgrass explores in vivid detail the context in which these stories were told, the purpose they had in Jesus' message, and the ways they have been interpreted by the church and modern scholarship. While holding a conscously eveangelical approach, Snodgrass deals throughout with a broad spectrum of opinions and interpretations. He begins by surveying the primary issues in parables interpretation. Offering both a new, more functional classification system for Jusus' parables and guidelines for interpreting them, he provides an overview of other parables--often neglected in the discussion--from the Old Testament, Jewish writings, and the Greco-Roman world. The remaining chapters group the longer and more important parables of Jesus thematicaly and give a comprehensive treatment of each, including background and significance for today.NOTES: Purchased from the Amazon MarketPlace.

Overall, this is an impressive and commendable piece of work that will hopefully encourage pastors, teachers, and students to engage the parables in the context of Jesus and further to apply them responsibly to their own contemporary contexts. His closing statement about Jesus' parables is a fitting way to conclude: "They deserve all the attention we will give them" (p. 566).
