This volume is a combined edition of Poet and Peasant and Through Peasant Eyes, Kenneth Bailey's intensive studies of the parables in the gospel of Luke. Bailey begins by surveying the development of allegorical, historical-eschatological, aesthetic, and existential methods of interpretation. Though figures like Julicher, Jeremias, Dodd, Jones, and Via have made important advances, Bailey sees the need to go beyond them by combining an examination of the poetic structures of the parables with a better understanding of the Oriental culture that informs the text. Bailey's work within Middle Eastern peasant culture over the last twenty years has helped him in his attempt to determine the cultural assumptions that the teller of the parables must have made about his audience. The same values which underlay the impact of the parables in Christ's time, Bailey suggests, can be discovered today in isolated peasant communities in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. Because time has made almost no impact in these cultural pockets, it is possible to discern, for example, what it meant 2,000 years ago for a friend to come calling at midnight, or for a son to ask for his inheritance prior to his father's death. In addition to illuminating the cultural framework of the parables, Bailey offers an analysis of their literary structure, treating the parabolic section as a whole as well as its individual components. Through its combination of literary and cultural analyses, Bailey's study makes a number of profound advances in parabolic interpretation.

Von S. Bachmann
Format:Taschenbuch
Bailey versucht hier einen Spagat zwischen linguistischer Analyse und kulturellem Hintergrund der Gleichnisse Jesu. Die linguistische Analyse ist von beeindruckender Tiefe, aber für Laien eher nervtötend. Wer aber die Nerven hat und sich durch seine ellenlangen linguistischen Exkursionen durchkämpft, der erlebt etwas unglaubliches. Da Bailey jahrzentelang im nahen Osten gelebt hat, kennt er diese Kultur wie nur wenige Theologen und schafft es immer wieder, die manchmal unverständlichen Gleichnisse in ihren wahren Kontext zu stellen und sie so zum Leben zu erwecken. Wer sich also bei manchen Gleichnissen verständnislos am Kopf kratzt, erlebt hier wahre Wunder und beginnt zu verstehen, was sich hinter manchen obskuren Aussagen von Jesus verbirgt. Diese Buch ist Gold wert, auch wenn man viel Sitzleder braucht um an die vergrabenen Schätze zu gelangen.

I have read several books on the parables, but this is the most enlightening, most preachable and most interesting there is. When you have done a great deal of reading in an area, you begin to doubt how much even a good book is going to help you learn. This book is like someone provided you with a whole new insight in to meaning of the parables. Scholarly yet down to earth! The genuis of the book is that he combines over thirty years of Biblical scholarship and living among the culture of the Middle East. You learn what it meant to the people who Jesus was teaching 2,000 years ago. The only negative for me was the poetry portion of the book, which will probably excite poetry scholars, but was a mystery to me. If you are a Biblical scholar or learner or teacher, it is a must read.

Bailey shares cultural information from the Middle East to illuminate the parables of Luke. I read this book as a text for a course in Hermeneutics and am fully impressed with his understanding of the more "obscure" parables. Bailey also uses ancient translations of the New Testament as well as Western scholarship in his search for the true meaning of the texts. There are indeed two chices for understanding the Parables, one is to come at them from a Western mindset. The more logical approach is to observe the modern Middle East and assume that much remains largely unchanged from the first century. Bailey's observations allow one to think in a much different way, not only in regard to the parables, but to the entire bible.
