Gleichnisse - Fabeln - Parabeln

For the first time, the boundaries between exegesis, literary theory, and religious education are torn down in the treatment of similes, fables, and parables. The volume offers a comprehensive view of the interdisciplinary significance of figurative language. Since similes and parables play an important role in both theoretical and practical theology, a central area of study is thereby made more vivid and comprehensible. Form criticism, exegesis, and religious education come together in the process.
