| You cannot tell people what to do, you can only tell them parables; and that
is what art really is, particular stories of particular people and
experiences... W. H. Auden in M. K. Spears, The Poetry of W. H. Auden |
||
| Parable is most definitely a referential speech-form. Therefore to treat
Jesus’ stories as creative art is to mystify their workings and obscure their
nature. Andrew Parker, Painfully Clear: The Parables of Jesus, 27 (italics in original) |
