Jacob and the Prodigal: How Jesus Retold
Israel’s Story
by Kenneth E. Bailey. |
The story of Israel’s patriarch and namesake,
Jacob, is indeed the story of the nation itself—a story of exile and return,
of hope and redemption. When Jesus told the parable of the prodigal son, was
he retelling and retooling the Jacob story in order to reveal something about
His own identity and the nature of His Father’s Kingdom? That is the premise
of this fascinating, insight-filled book by New Testament scholar Kenneth Bailey,
whose lifetime of immersion in Middle Eastern culture imparts new layers and
dimensions of understanding as to how Jesus’ words would have resonated
with the people of His day—with implications for how we are to understand
our King and Savior today.
