Synopsis
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.

About the Author
Bernard Brandon Scott is the author of several books, including Hear Then the Parable, one of the most important books on parables in this generation, and the editor of several more. A charter member of the Jesus Seminar, he is co-chair of the Bible in Ancient and Modern Media Section of the Society of Biblical Literature and a consultant to the American Bible Society experimental film translations. In recognition of that work, the American Bible Society Research Center awarded him a research grant for 1999–2000 to work on sound mapping, the study of sound as the communication environment of the ancient world
Review
It will be difficult to find a better book for serious study by people of all abilities. --Sewanee Theological Review
Scott's language, with a flair for the creative and the idiomatic, his unobtrusive scholarship, and his personal approach to interpretation make this an ideal resource for introducing the parables to a lay audience. --The Catholic Biblical Quarterly
Brandon Scott outdoes himself in making a diffcult subject accessible. The reader will not soon forget his incisive analyses. --Robert W Funk
