Summary
What happens to Jesus’ teachings when they are understood either as isolated sayings or within the context of a narrative?
Todd Brewer examines this question by comparing parables across the Gospels of Thomas, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, uncovering the inherent tendencies of narrative and non-narrative interpretive approaches – tendencies that are further illustrated through the contrasting hermeneutics of Hans Frei and Rudolf Bultmann.
