Parabolic Figures or Narrative Fictions?

Seminal Essays on the Stories of Jesus

by Charles W. Hedrick ...

Hedrick contends that parables do not teach moral and religious lessons; they are not, in whole or part, theological figures for the church. Rather, parables are realistic narrative fictions that like all effective fiction literature are designed to draw readers into story worlds where they make discoveries about themselves by finding their ideas challenged and subverted--or affirmed.

Unmasking Biblical Faiths

The Marginal Relevance of the Bible for Contemporary Religious Faith

by Charles W. Hedrick ...

Unmasking Biblical Faiths aims to address many of the challenges to traditional Christian faith in the modern world. Since the eighteenth-century Age of Enlightenment, human reason, formerly tethered by the constraints of organized religion, has been set free to explore the universe relatively unchallenged.

The Wisdom of Jesus

Between the Sages of Israel and the Apostles of the Church

by Charles W. Hedrick ...

How would the image of Jesus appear if it were based only on sayings that scholars generally agreed originated with Jesus? And how would the wisdom of Jesus reflected in those few sayings compare to the wisdom of the sages of ancient Israel and the apostles of the early first-century church? To answer such questions historians face serious difficulties. Everything we know about Jesus comes from ... Read more
