More famous parables reconsidered
Last week saw the publication of my new book, The Upside-Down Bible: What Jesus really said about money, sex and violence.
My publisher – Darton, Longman and Todd – have been publishing a series of blog posts I have written about Jesus’ parables, based around some of the parables explored in the book.
The fourth post, Sex workers and the Kingdom of God, was published today (2 December). It explores Jesus’ comments on sex workers and the “parable of the two sons” in Matthew 21.
You can also read the previous blog posts:
- Bonus culture and the parable of the talents
- Good Samaritans without bad Jews
- The labourers in the vineyard and their zero-hour contracts (which I posted on this site as well, a few days ago).
