It's in disrepute for good reason -- abuses before and during the Middle Ages. But the corrective, in my mind, is always the grammatico-historical hermeneutic, and focusing on the author's/speaker's intent.<BR/><BR/>I think it'd be best to say some parables go more towards allegory (Good Samaritan, Prodigal Son), and more towards simile ("the kingdom of Heaven is like....").<BR/><BR/>DanDJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1139675810832382712006-02-11T08:36:00.000-08:002006-02-11T08:36:00.000-08:00James -- I just wanted to encourage you and also t...<B>James</B> -- <I>I just wanted to encourage you and also to get you over the hump and into the double digits in number of comments. :>) </I><BR/><BR/>Woo hoo!
