Breaking Open to God: Postmodernism and the Parables of the Historical Jesus

That the historical Jesus told parables as a major component of his public ministry can be a source of intrigue and inspiration for postmodern Christians. Breaking Open to God analyzes what socially and theologically took place in the exchange between Jesus and his original audiences when Jesus told parables. The salient points of that exchange are then brought into a 21st Century context and are applied to a theological and ecclesiological presentation that postmodern Christians may find appealing.
