His innovative presentation of how Jesus told stories about God s kingdom and how the Gospel authors told stories about Jesus offers a brilliant new way of looking at parable and metaphor in the Gospels and in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.' --Marvin W. Meyer, Professor of Bible and Christian Studies

'A remarkable and important book for Christians and for all who seek to understand the Bible better . . . Crossan combines his customary literary and historical brilliance with fresh insights that illuminate not only the parables of Jesus but much of the Bible as a whole.' --Marcus J.
