The Parable Of The Prodigal Son – Its Narrative Meaning and Function

Description

This book makes use of the methodology of narrative criticism to investigate the meaning and function of the parable of the Prodigal Son, through a close reading of Luke 15:11-32 and to determine the meaning
and function of the parable in the wider narrative of the Gospel of Luke. In addition to its literary-critical exposition of the parable, this clearly written and thoroughly researched work demonstrates how Luke has integrated the theology of this parable into the whole fabric of his Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles.​
