Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safed the Sage, the famous parable-telling creation of William Eleazar Barton, emerges to dispense poignant portions of worldly wisdom. For the author, parables are an underappreciated method of tutoring others in morality, of introducing the comparisons and contrasts of life and its events, that they gain a grounding in dealing with affairs wisely and with discernment. For William Barton, gaining this insight via anecdotes is a stepping down to reflecting the condition of the heavenly kingdoms spoken about in the Christian lore. The origin of the Safed the Sage series ? which went on to span several books, that together had millions of readers in the USA and elsewhere ? is explained. Barton set about writing a modern take on old parables, wherein a man and wife travelling the country relate stories as they journey around by rail, steamboat or otherwise.

THE THREE HOLLYHOCKS NOW it came to pass on the day after the Municipal Mowing Machine had cut down the Hollyhock, that I went forth among men, and I met a man who hath much Worldly Wisdom, and my heart was heavy, and I communed with him. And I told him how I had found the Hollyhock, and had digged about it very early in the Morning, so that I did eat my Breakfast that day in the Sweat of my face, and how my Heart went out to the Hollyhock, and how I thought I should see Flowers blooming thereon, and how I returned at Night, and the Municipal Mowing Machine, which the Town had Procured, at the Request of the Civic League whereof he and I were both members, had cut down my Hollyhock, and left it to wither among the Thistles, and the Burdocks, and the Tall Grass. And he heard me, and thus he Spake: Even so is Life. There is no Law save Fate, and it Happeneth alike to the Evil and the Good. Thou hast spent Labor in Vain seeking in Thine own life to be a Hollyhock, for it is much More Fun to be a Burdock. The Blossom of the Burdock is quite as lovely as that of the Hollyhock, if thou only Thinkest so, and behold how much Farther thou Scatterest Thine Influence if thou art a Burdock than if thou art an Hollyhock. Not only dost thou Stick to people who pass, but People go out of their way, however much they Pretend the Contrary, to pick up Burrs and carry them away. And in the End, one Fate happeneth to all. The great, unseeing Municipal Mowing Machine called Fate cometh down the Concrete Walk of Time, scarring its Smooth Surface with the Calks on the Shoes of the Horses that drag the Chariot of the Inevitable, and it Cutteth down both the Good and the Evil. And who shall know, in an hundred years, whether thou wert an Hollyhock, bearing...

Book excerpt: The Language Environment of First Century Judea challenges the long-held assumption of New Testament scholarship that only two languages, Aramaic and Greek, were in common use in the land of Israel in the first century.

Book Synopsis Puzzling the Parables of Jesus by : Ruban Zimmermann
Download or read book Puzzling the Parables of Jesus written by Ruban Zimmermann and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern scholarship on the parables has long been preoccupied with asking what Jesus himself said and what he intended to accomplish with his parables. Ruben Zimmermann moves beyond that agenda to explore the dynamics of parabolic speech in all its rich complexity. Introductory chapters address the history of research and distinguish historical from literary and reader-oriented approaches, then set out a postmodern hermeneutic that analyzes narrative elements and context, maps the sociohistorical background, explores stock metaphors and symbols, and opens up contemporary horizons of interpretation. Subsequent chapters then focus on one parable from early Christian sources (Q, Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, and the Gospel of Thomas) to explore how parables function in each literary context. Over all reigns the principle that the meaning or theological "message" of a parable cannot be extracted from the parabolic form; thus the parables continue to invite hearers' and readers' involvement to the present day.

Book Synopsis Stories with Intent by : Klyne R. Snodgrass
Download or read book Stories with Intent written by Klyne R. Snodgrass and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 917 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2009 Christianity Today Award for Biblical Studies, Stories with Intent offers pastors and students a comprehensive and accessible guide to Jesus' parables. Klyne Snodgrass explores in vivid detail the historical context in which these stories were told, the part they played in Jesus' overall message, and the ways in which they have been interpreted in the church and the academy. Snodgrass begins by surveying the primary issues in parables interpretation and providing an overview of other parables—often neglected in the discussion—from the Old Testament, Jewish writings, and the Greco-Roman world. He then groups the more important parables of Jesus thematically and offers a comprehensive treatment of each, exploring both background and significance for today. This tenth anniversary edition includes a substantial new chapter that surveys developments in the interpretation of parables since the book's original 2008 publication.
Book Synopsis Judaism and Story by : Jacob Neusner
Download or read book Judaism and Story written by Jacob Neusner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-09-26 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this close analysis of 'The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan', a sixth-century commentary on the Mishnah-tractyate 'The Fathers' (Avot), Jacob Neusner considers the way in which the story, as a distinctive type of narrative, entered the canonical writings of Judaism. The final installment in Neusner's cycle of analyses of the major texts of the Judaic canon, 'Judaism and Story' shows that stories about sages exist in far greater proportion in 'The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan' than in any of the other principal writings in the canon of Judaism of late antiquity. Neusner's detailed comparison of 'The Fathers' and 'The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan' demonstrates the transmission and elaboration of these stories and shows how these processes incorporated the newer view of the sage as a supernatural figure and of the eschatological character of Judaic teleology. These distinctions, as Neusner describes them, mark a shift in Jewish orientation to world history. 'Judaism and Story' documents a chapter of rabbinic tradition that explored the possibility of historical orientation by means of stories. As Neusner demonstrates, this experiment with narrative went beyond argumentation focused on the explication of the Torah. The sage story moved in the direction of biography, but without allowing biography to emerge. This development, in Neusner's account, parallels the movement from epistle to Gospel in early Christianity and thus has broad implications for the history of religions.
