Jesus - The Power of Parable (John Dominic Crossan)

The Power of Parable: How Fiction by Jesus Became Fiction about Jesus
The world's foremost Jesus scholar John Dominic Crossan shows us how the parables present throughout the New Testament not only reveal what Jesus wanted to teach but also provide the key for explaining how the Gospels' writers sought to explain the Prophet of Nazareth to the world. In this meaningful exploration of the metaphorical stories told by Jesus and the Gospel writers, Crossan combines the biblical expertise of his The Greatest Prayer with a historical and social analysis that harkens closely to his Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, creating an illuminating and nuanced exploration of the Scripture that fans of Marcus Borg and Bart Ehrman will find fascinating and essential.

J.D. Crossan is simply one of the brightest and most original thinkers in historical Jesus research.

I'm only 12 minutes in and really enjoying this.

Thank you so much for this. Got a couple of "mind-blown" insight moments, like how quibbling over whether a story is "true" is the quickest way to rob it of its power, and how some modern peaceful protesters like extinction rebellion are truly in Jesus footsteps with parabolic action

[@timopeltonen975]

A great book! A must read!

[@garretttedeman]

Great stuff - J.D. Crossan is just one of the best at most clearly explaining how things work

[@StefanTravis]

John 6:47

[@naisaephan5336]

the enlightened ones all spoke in parables. they do this because the secret is only for those who have the right heart and mind. only those who reach a level of understanding and wisdom. to possess the power that jesus had or other enlightened beings through out history had you must cleanse yourself of all evil and sin. only then you might understand the secret teachings in parables. the secrets are not for just anybody. imagine everybody unlocking the powers within. now imagine what the people with wicked hearts will do.

How can they hear my Parables of the Kingdom or Heaven within and hereafter when they are listings to this and the othe 5 million KZbins

Wake ye read Matt 13 He spoke only in Parables to the crowds but explained them to only His Disciples

[@jesusfirstto-the-pointendt4552]

Hi Rick! Blessed are they that believe without seeing, because they have converted and now have eyes to see what the parables mean. And I'm starting to see that the parables in God's Word are symbolic to the parables we find elsewhere in the Bible within words that are just now being unsealed. As true followers of Christ, I believe that as long as we continue to ask God, in the name of Jesus Christ, for wisdom and guidance and with this being the end of days, knowledge will continue to increas and we all come together here online to share with one another. We all MUST grow in grace and we must gently and kindly help the Christian brothers and sisters out there that are slow to advance. Peace and Love be with you and yours!

He's right-- not the end, but the transformation of the world! That transformation is possible when Revelation shows that Jesus is the personified voice of the Holy Spirit, and the world heeds "no man ever spoke like this!" Let His parables and dark sayings be illumined.

Cömo agradecería la traducción al español :(

[@haroldcrenshaw5630]

Parables are unclear. They are confusing. They are used to allow the subject to not obtain all the facts but to read into the result in belief form. Proof? They have to be explained!

[@plotinus777]

For you... hopefully you have attained more enlightenment in that last four years.

dear JDC, Blaming the victims doesn't help. It's not a level playing field. The diabolical rulers of the world have all the wealth, power, and malice at their disposal to accomplish their dastardly deeds. GD has to do the heavy lifting, or it ain't gonna get done. End of story.

[@mcmedia7303]

wow !!revolutionary interpretation of the OT and NT. IT IS a parable of ultimate Existence dummy!!

[@jamesanonymous2343]
