This volume will be of great interest to those concerned with rabbinic parables or with the parables in the Gospels, and also those studying the parable as a literary form. It is intended as an introductory guide or handbook to the early rabbinic parables - parables either explicitly attributed to rabbis of the first two centuries of the Common Era or else from literature reporting traditions almost exclusively from that period.
The first half of the work provides 125 parables selected from the authors' collection of well over a thousand rabbinic parables. With each parable is an indication of the approximate date of the alleged author and, when noted, other versions of the parable in rabbinic literature. The second half of the study is a series of preliminary essays on various aspects of the form and content of these parables. The concluding three essays deal particularly with the relation between rabbinic parables and those found in the Gospels.
