Sumari:The Power of Parables documents the surprising ways in which Jewish and Christian parables bridge religion with daily life. This 2019 conference volume rediscovers the original power of parables to shock and affect their audience, which has since been reduced by centuries of preaching and repetition.

The theological differences in their applications appear secondary in view of their powerful rhetoric and suggest a shared genre.
