Paula Gooder: Preaching and the Parables

Curious to see the references to ribbinical law mentioned here as the basis of the argument

Is one problem of interpretation on parable is the premise that we must “understand” them at all? Couldn’t they be used to illumine a reality such as the kingdom of god that Jesus is trying to bring you into. So the appropriate response to a parable is transformation so there is no point at which you can kill the parable except for turning it into a puzzle rather than a technology of sorts?
