| A parable is, by form, a similitude in which the element used for comparison
is a self-authenticating ‘logic’ and, by function, a concentrated
illumination. Like all illustrations parables are designed to stimulate
awareness. Andrew Parker, Painfully Clear: The Parables of Jesus, 65 |

| We are frightened by the lonely silences within the parables… We want them
to tell us what to do and they refuse to answer. John Dominic Crossan In Parables: The Challenge of the Historical Jesus 81-82; 62 in Tolbert |
