Re-Imagine the World
An Introduction to the Parables of JesusBernard Brandon Scott  In his parables Jesus re-imagines the world. The re-imagined
world, called the kingdom of God, presents his followers with a new option for living, one that contrasts with the default world of the everyday. The new world is both terrifying and liberating. In
this book the author sets his interpretation of the key parables of Jesus in the context of other things Jesus said and did. The result is a startling and provocative picture of the historical figure
and the challenge he presents to contemporary life.
