The Dark Interval
Towards a Theology of StoryJohn Dominic Crossan
From myth to parable, Crossan identifies five types of stories. Among these types it is parable that subverts the world and undercuts the safe shelter we build. Using literary theory,
philosophy, theology and biblical studies, he demonstrates the subversive power of the parable.
"An intriguing book, widely grounded in contemporary literary theory, anthropology, philosophy and theology . . . It
will challenge readers in many fields—and all the more because it is so readable."
