Ebook About
The renowned biblical scholar, author of The Misunderstood Jew, and general editor for The Jewish Annotated New Testament interweaves history and spiritual analysis to explore Jesus’ most popular teaching parables, exposing their misinterpretations and making them lively and relevant for modern readers.Jesus was a skilled storyteller and perceptive teacher who used parables from everyday life to effectively convey his message and meaning. Life in first-century Palestine was very different from our world today, and many traditional interpretations of Jesus’ stories ignore this disparity and have often allowed anti-Semitism and misogyny to color their perspectives.In this wise, entertaining, and educational book, Amy-Jill Levine offers a fresh, timely reinterpretation of Jesus’ narratives. In Short Stories by Jesus, she analyzes these “problems with parables,” taking readers back in time to understand how their original Jewish audience understood them. Levine reveals the parables’ connections to first-century economic and agricultural life, social customs and morality, Jewish scriptures and Roman culture. With this revitalized understanding, she interprets these moving stories for the contemporary reader, showing how the parables are not just about Jesus, but are also about us—and when read rightly, still challenge and provoke us two thousand years later.

Book Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi Review :

What a tedious book! Devoting 90% of it to show how every interpretation of Jesus's parables is wrong (except hers) makes a very tedious and pedantic reading. The prose, by the way, is monotonous and boring. Even worse, the author takes as punching bags very old interpretations (Jerome, Church Fathers, antique popes) that no one takes seriously today, at least in biblical scholarship. I have read a lot of books on the historical Jesus, the gospels and their context (no one better than Gerd Theissen), so I am familiar with this area. But this book is apparently written to show how everybody has been so wrong, and just that. The space devoted to explain what —in the author's view— Jesus's parables mean is minimal; maybe one page after a 20-page soliloquy. Her views are not that imaginative either: A pearl, she says, cannot be a symbol of a repentance, because pearls don't repent! (Seriously?) Then she goes into semantics , arguing that the gospel writers can't tell the difference between a parable and an allegory. Neither can I, and unfortunately she doesn't give us her definition. Sheep, she says elsewhere, can not represent a sinner, because sheep don't sin! And that is the general tone of the book. The author is obviously a deconstructionist who wants to see parables as only stories about pearls, bread, seed and sheep that do not mean anything... they are just that: gags about pearls, bread, seed and sheep.
