Interpreting the Parables

By: Craig L. Blomberg

Narrated by: Liam Gerrard

In the last century, more studies of the parables were produced than for any other section of comparable length in the Bible. The problem is that most Bible readers are unlikely ever to know of most of them.

In this substantially new and expanded edition, Craig Blomberg surveys and evaluates contemporary critical approaches to the parables, challenging the prevailing consensus and making his own important new contribution to parable studies. Within proper definitions and boundaries, the author defends a limited allegorical approach. In support of this view of parable interpretation, Blomberg not only sets forth theoretical considerations but devotes attention to all the major parables, providing brief interpretations that highlight the insights to be gained from his distinctive method.

Interpreting the Parables can be listened to with profit by scholars, students, pastors, and educated laypeople.

Scholarly book on the interpretation of parables

It was not a "fun" book but very informative.

The reader did a good job.

difficult read

This was a very difficult read. Extremely technical, hard to follow, packed with flowery language, and lacking in practical application to the life. Certainly a scholarly read - it may have its place in some circles.
