Description: Hauptbeschreibung Matthean Parables have often been read through the lens of their Synoptic parallels, which has, for instance, led to the claim that Matthew does not have a parable theory of its own. Peter Yaw Oppong-Kumi offers a careful and detailed analysis of the three parabolic compositions in the Gospel of Matthew. He presents a new approach to Matthew's parables and calls for a reading of the gospel that frees it from the ""dependency"" of its sources. Through meticulous study the author shows the interconnectedness of Matthew's parable compositions through their common theo.
