The renowned biblical scholar, author of The Misunderstood Jew, and general editor for The Jewish Annotated New Testament interweaves history and spiritual analysis to explore Jesus’ most popular teaching parables, exposing their misinterpretations and making them lively and relevant for modern readers. Jesus was a skilled storyteller and perceptive teacher who used parables from everyday life to effectively convey his message and meaning. Life in first-century Palestine was very different from our world today, and many traditional interpretations of Jesus’ stories ignore this disparity and have often allowed anti-Semitism and misogyny to color their perspectives. In this wise, entertaining, and educational book, Amy-Jill Levine offers a fresh, timely reinterpretation of Jesus’ narratives. In Short Stories by Jesus, she analyzes these “problems with parables,” taking readers back in time to understand how their original Jewish audience understood them. Levine reveals the parables’ connections to first-century economic and agricultural life, social customs and morality, Jewish scriptures and Roman culture. With this revitalized understanding, she interprets these moving stories for the contemporary reader, showing how the parables are not just about Jesus, but are also about us—and when read rightly, still challenge and provoke us two thousand years later.

Jesus Short Stories is my own effort to shed light on Jesus's parables. As someone who is a regular churchgoer and has spent countless hours studying the Bible, particularly the words of Jesus, it has always perplexed me that seldom do you ever find anyone trying to uncover the hidden meaning behind Jesus's parables. If you spend time reading the gospels, that is exactly what happened in Jesus's time as well. A few years ago, I began seeing Jesus's parables in a new light. First and foremost, these Jesus Short Stories are Christian fiction. I want to stress that they are indeed fiction. However, they are presented in a way that will help the reader to also gain insight on the hidden nature of Jesus's parables. Throughout this book, there is one rule that I have regarding the words of Jesus...under no circumstances ever, do I put words in the mouth of Jesus. But that said, I have found clever ways of shedding light on the hidden mysteries. On a side note, the very first short story is my sincerest effort to reconstruct the lost gospel.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The younger son went off and spent all his inheritance. Then a famine occurred, and he was forced to find a job to support himself. When he returned home, he found his father had sacrificed the grain-fed calf because his son was dead, but he had come back to life. #2 The parable of the Prodigal Son is about a sinner repenting and God forgiving him, which is what many of Luke’s readers believed it to be. But the original meaning of the parable was not about sinners repenting and God forgiving them, but about finding the lost and reclaiming children. #3 The parable of the Prodigal Son is often used to convey the message of wasted resources, but it can also be understood as the story of the Beloved Son, who left the paradise of his heavenly father to go and live in the world of sin. #4 The allegorical connection between the parable and Christianity is that the father is God the Father, and the elder brother is Jesus, the prodigal who repents of his sin and is welcomed back by the gracious God.
