Title: Parables and presence
First published: 1982
Description: These seminal essays explore forms of the New Testament tradition on the basis of a view of language as perception, problem, and promise. The author firmly believes that language contains "glimpses of worlds aborning" even though contemporary minds, given to literal-mindedness, may see this view as simply mysterious. This view of language, however, when connected in a fundamental way with the tradition and canon of the New Testament, compels systematic reflection. - from book cover
