Description

The course will focus on the reading of some selected parables taken from the canonical and non-canonical Gospel tradition. Attention will be given to the way in which these narratives reflect, refashion and, more generally, interact with the social context of the ancient eastern Mediterranean. In addition, the course will examine how the scholarly tradition has posited the problem of the relationship between these materials and the ancient social context and the ideological stakes involved. Note: Course has additional hour to be arranged.
