Actually, I haven't read all of this book, but I did read all the introductory and closing material and the commentaries on the parables I've preached in my recent series on the parables in Luke. Enough to evaluate the book and know that I'll be using it in the future when I preach on parables.
Scott gives fresh, interesting, and provocative readings of Jesus' stories. Readings that are great for proclamation.
The parables are set in the everyday world, which is venial, "tragic and unclean,with miracle muted or hidden." Sounds like my world, how about yours?
Yet, Jesus teaches that "The God of the parables is one who engages in a radical solidarity with folks."
