Jesus, Symbol-Maker for the Kingdom

This is an innovative, encyclopedic, and methodologically comprehensive work according to the reviews. Building on the work of Adolf Julicher, CH Dodd, and Joacim Jeremias, as well as upon the modern efforts of Robert W Funk, Dan O. Via and John Dominic Crossan, Professor Scott attempts to advance, and correct this tradition of parable interpretation, with an emphassis on the relation of the parables to the mythological vision of the Kingdom of God. The commentary analyzes each parable of Jesus, even those in the Gospel of Thomas, in the present literary context of each Gospel, in its prior development in the oral tradition, and within the ministry of Jesus himself. One major result of Scott's research and study is that is he able to reconstruct an originating structure of each parable, which is presented at the beginning of each parable analysis. He deals first with e redaction of the parable (as it stands in the Gospels). The he analyses how the originating structure affects meaning. Finally, he examines how the story and the kingdom interact so as to produce the 'parabolic effect'. In short, Scott seeks to understand how a text structures meaning and the conditions it sets for its own performance. In so proceeding, Scott pays attention as well to the new influence of the social sciences to highlight the social world of the parables. This influence is reflected in the division to the parables into three major groups based on the social dynamics of the first-century peasant culture. "If you only followed the parables you yourself would become parables and with that rid all of your daily cares." Franz Kafka

Many ideas once thought to be foundational to Christianity are now known to be false due to scientific discoveries regarding the nature of the universe and historical findings about how Christianity began. Is Christianity doomed to irrelevance or even extinction? How might Christianity reinvent itself so that it can address the real concerns of people in today's world? This collection of essays from such leading thinkers as Karen Armstrong and John Shelby Spong addresses questions such as life after death, the meaning of God, apocalypticism, and the significance of Jesus' death. Contributors: Karen Armstrong, Don Cupitt, Arthur J. Dewey, Robert W. Funk, Lloyd Geering, Roy W. Hoover, Robert J. Miller, Stephen J. Patterson, Bernard Brandon Scott, John Shelby Spong

In his parables Jesus re-imagines the world. The re-imagined world, called the kingdom of God, presents his followers with a new option for living, one that contrasts with the default world of the everyday. The new world is both terrifying and liberating. In this book the author sets his interpretation of the key parables of Jesus in the context of other things Jesus said and did. The result is a startling and provocative picture of the historical figure and the challenge he presents to contemporary life.

Re-Imagine the World: An Introduction to the Parables of Jesus

In the ancient world, writings were read aloud, heard, and remembered. But modern exegesis assumes a silent text. According to Margaret Lee & Brandon Scott, the disjuncture between ancient and modern approaches to literature obscures the beauty and meaning in writings such as the New Testament. Further, the structure of an ancient Greek composition derives first from its sounds and not from the meaning of its words. They argue that sound analysis, analysis of the signifier and its audible dimension, is crucial to interpretation. Sound Mapping the New Testament explores writing technology in the Greco-Roman world, then turns to ancient Greek literary criticism for descriptions of grammar as a science of sound and literary composition as a woven fabric of speech. Based on these perspectives and a close analysis of writings from the four gospels, Paul, and Q, Sound Mapping the New Testament advances a theory of sound analysis that will enable modern readers to hear the New Testament afresh. The second edition reprints the first edition with a new introduction that reviews a decade of sound mapping scholarship and argues for the continued necessity of sound mapping for New Testament interpretation.
