For session 9 (26 November)...

In this session we'll be looking at how we can interpret the parables as well as figures of speech in biblical literature. Mat Farland will be the guest lecturer for this session. You will need to have read:

• KBH, ch. 10, pg. 411-418

Here are some questions you might want to think about while doing your reading:

• How have parables been interpreted for much of church history (411-412)?
• What do the authors mean when they call the parables 'narrative fiction' (413)?
• What does it mean to 'translate' a parable into contemporary language?
