Abstract:
At the heart of his doctrine of reconciliation, Karl Barth offers a unique but underexamined christological interpretation of the parable of the prodigal son. Displaying both respect for and resistance to the interpretative paradigm for Jesus’s parables established by Adolf Jülicher, Barth’s interpretation rejects allegorical interpretation and appeals to the narrative’s literary characteristics, but it hermeneutically privileges Barth’s perception of the overall theological import of the canonical Christian Scriptures over the parable’s immediate literary context. Barth’s approach may be fruitfully set in conversation with more recent developments in parable research, including redaction-criticism and the understanding of parables as metaphorical texts, yielding a revised polyvalent theological interpretation, which brings together soteriological and christological themes.

Abstract:
The Holy Qura’n is the book of Hidayah for all mankinds and its teachings are valid for all time and every place. The Holy Qura’n is a complete code of life. Therefore, there are many styles of literary forms used in Qura’n like parable, oath, debate and true stories method. The most important method is parable. “Mathal”, “Mithal” words were used for parables in Qura’n. The parables of Qura’n are the various literary methods to effectively convey message of Allah and to educate the people from the teachings of Qura’n. Allah has adopted the way of parables in Qura’n for people so that they may think and take heed. The Holy Qura’n does not present the parables like common examples which are narrated on tong of people. Quranic parables defined the true concept of Allah, his Messengers and Day of Judgment. The main purpose of parables to show Allah’s infinite knowledge. Each parable in Qura’n implicit a different narrative style appropriate to the theme. It is recommended that the method of coding parables should be included in curriculum at appropriate level.

Abstract:
Abstract The teachings of Jesus consist to a great extent of parables. There is, however, no unanimity on what each parable means or how it should be interpreted. I argue that modern argumentation analysis is the key to understanding the parables and their effect on the reading or listening public. Irrespective of the length of the parable or the imagery used, the aim of each one is to persuade its audience. The parables operate with a common, hidden argumentative structure. By cracking this code, one can assess the meaning and function of the parables in a reliable way. Example texts discussed and analyzed are some crucial parables in Matt. 24–25.

Abstract:
The teachings of Jesus in the Gospels contain very many parables. These parables remain relevant in the context of today's life which is very complex in its aspects of life. Apart from that, the reading of parables is often read in an allegorical style that has been passed down by the church fathers and has been going on for a very long time. The church should have a new way of reading parable texts to get a more contextual meaning of the text today. This article tries to present an existentialist approach to reading the parables of Jesus, namely one of reading parable texts by understanding these parables as pure parables of that era. The writer argues that by reading Luke 18: 9-14 with an existentialist approach, the meaning of justification intended by Jesus in the text will be found clearly.

Abstract:
Abstract This article addresses the topic of parables in the Stromateis of Clement of Alexandria. The broad thesis is that New Testament scholarship can help clarify early Christian interpretation of the New Testament. Clement of Alexandria has a very precise definition of the genre of parable. This definition is compared with various literary definitions found in the work of the grammarian Trypho of Alexandria and with one modern definition. Both of these comparisons bring out the precision, clarity, and usefulness of Clement’s definition for understanding the function of parables. The discussion then turns to the grounding of Clement’s definition in the saving mission of the Son. Since Clement closely links parables with prophecy and redemptive suffering, John Meier’s exposition of the Parable of the Wicked Tenants is introduced to show how parables can concretely express the redemptive suffering of the Son. Meier also demonstrates how the disciples were themselves involved in writing and completing this parable, so the article closes with an analysis of one of Clement’s interpretations of a parable, his own contribution to the tradition of parabolic speech.

Abstract:
As a literary form, the parable is an independent narrative, a unitary whole that expresses by itself a supernatural truth. Parables are similitudes taken from everyday life in nature that plastically reproduce a spiritual reality. Parables have many similarities with fables. However, while fables usually depict some abstract, fantastic, unreal truths from the life of nature or animals, most of the time unrealizable, parables do not have an unreal connotation but are possible events taken from everyday life. Although along with allegory, fable and even metaphors, parables are distinguished by their beauty and originality from all the writings of Holy Scripture, they are not identified with any of the variants that come close to the metaphorical literary meaning. Because the parable is an imagined story, which exposes real facts from human life and activity.

Abstract: This essay explores James Joyce's engagement with Biblical parables in Dubliners . Like parables, Joyce's stories employ realistic situations, vivid imagery, and puzzling endings to prompt readers into moral reflection. Joyce's stories also draw upon specific Biblical parables. In "The Boarding House," Joyce inverts the Parable of the Ten Virgins to illuminate the disconnect between love and duty in Irish society. In "A Painful Case," he draws upon the Parable of the Great Banquet to highlight the implications of individual and societal inhospitality. Examining Joyce's parabolic method adds to the growing conversation about Joyce's sustained interest in Scripture and Christian thought.

Abstract:
The gospel parables are part of the broader genre of Jewish story-parables found in rabbinic literature. In the first half of this article seven preliminary characteristics of Jewish parables are presented, some of which challenge our widely accepted assumptions regarding gospel parables. For example, although there is near scholarly consensus that Jesus told his parables in Aramaic, we do not have a single Aramaic story-parable in Jewish literature in Roman antiquity. All are in Hebrew. In the second half of the study, an example is given of how twin parables are used to convey a novel idea that emerged in Judaism of the Hellenistic period – the value of the human individual because they have been created in the image of God – to demonstrate that Jesus not only embraced this innovative Jewish humanistic approach, but also how he did so with parables.

PARABLES by ERIN DIXON Under the Direction of Joe Peragine ABSTRACT This is a thesis about my most recent paintings. This work represents a quest for a real understanding of what painting means to me, as well as an exploration of fictional narrative and allegory which is derived from my life experience. Yet despite all the associations I have with these paintings, even with the most auto-biographical ones, they are meant to be open-ended. It is not necessary to know anything about me upon viewing them. Parables fictitiously illustrate a moral principle, and this work celebrates what I have learned in life and school.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of the parable’s genre form in the Temporary by Ivan Timofeev. Among the full-text “parables- narrations” in the text we can distinguish parables-stories, parables-reflections, parables-instructions. The parables-stories (The Parable of the Tsar’s Roman Son ... and two parables about the widowhood of the Muscovy) are distinguished by a developed plot and represent vital examples told in order to edify and clarify the author’s attitude to historical events and persons. All parables have a two- part structure. The first part is a plot, the second is an interpretation. The technique of abstraction is appeared in the absence of a portrait and nature in many of the characters and in the absence of the historical and geographical realities. At the same time, didacticism is skillfully combined with amusement. For example, in The Parable of the Tsar’s Roman Son... the plot is entertaining with an element of the miraculous, there are elements atypical for the “classical” genre form: various kinds of the motivation for the characters’ actions, as well as a conventional portrait. The second part in the parables-stories is an interpretation that doesn’t contain a detailed disclosure of the allegory, and a prayer to the Lord, returning to the events of the Time of Troubles. An intermediate position between “parables-narrations” and “parables-maxims” is occupied by the parable of two friends. Being an example from life in content, it is close in form to apothegms. The interpretation of the plot situation is not singled out in a parable-reflection in a separate part, it is organically woven into the plot, drawing in the potential possibility of the events development. The plot of the parable about simple natural affairs reminds the instruction of how a person should act when he wants to travel to some city or another country. A laconic interpretation testifies to the fact that the parable-instruction about the completion of the path is applicable, according to Timofeev, to the creative process of writing a historical essay. In general, the parables scattered in many fragments of the text, given in full or only indicated, are a kind of companions that help not only create an extensive historical work, but also comprehend the unusual events of the Time of Troubles.

Abstract:
Abstract The parables are one of the most distinctive features of the teaching of Jesus. The synoptic evangelists all record that Jesus used parables extensively. Mark claims (no doubt with some exaggeration) that Jesus did not speak to the crowds without a parable (4:34). Mark includes six parables, Matthew twenty-one, and Luke twenty-nine; nine parables can be traced to Q, nine to the special traditions found only in Matthew (‘M’), and eighteen to Luke’s special traditions (‘L’). In each gospel some of the parables are linked explicitly to Jesus’ proclamation of the kingdom of God.

Abstract:
Analyzing the holistic development of the individual, it is found that moral-religious education complements the academic and technical aspects of education, contributing to the formation of a balanced student. having profound implications on individual and social development. The parables of the Savior Jesus Christ and religious fables play an essential role in this formation, transmitting universal moral principles, thus we consider a pedagogical research on the impact of these stories in the educational process to be crucial. The study starts from the hypothesis that an educational program focused on moral-religious behavioral modeling, focused on the Savior's parables and religious fables, can form a moral-religious behavior in students. The methodology comprises ascertainment and pretesting stages, using systematic observation and questionnaire. The questionnaire covers students' perception of moral-religious education, their moral-religious reading experience, the relationship with the Church, school and family interactions, involvement in non-formal activities. The results of the pretest show that the students appreciate the Religion class, but they do not significantly know the moralreligious parables. An intervention program could contribute to improving their moral-religious perceptions and knowledge. The proposed study makes significant contributions in understanding the impact of moral-religious education on students, supporting the need for the development of effective educational programs in this regard.

Full text
Abstract:
As an agronomic engineer, it is one of Michel Houellebecq’s personal endeavors to protect the environment and foster local and sustainable agriculture. It is therefore no surprise that he stresses the personal and economic disasters of industrial production in nearly all of his novels. Through the example of Serotonin (2019), this article will show how Houellebecq proceeds aesthetically through the staging of his characters to defend the cause of the farmers. On the one hand, there is the voice of Aymeric d’Harcourt-Olonde, depicted as a lovely, loyal, and moral friend and a coura-geous hero with deep historic roots and agricultural ideals, and Camille, Florent’s biggest love, shocked by animal husbandry. Both are complementary and embody a premodern state of civilization: medieval times and the 19th century. On the other hand, there is the narrator, Florent, who is uprooted, works for the state economy, and embodies industrial production based on profit. There are two parallel plots by which Houellebecq tries to explain our contem-porary decadence: the betrayal of the religion (Camille) and the attempt to get her back during the whole novel, and the decline of the medieval culture as our common roots (Aymeric), which ends in suicide. Through these characters, who are de facto incarnations, the whole parable of serotonin aims at depicting the relationship between the state and religion through time and its economic and human fallouts. By retracing the sacrifice and tragic fate of the medieval stage of civilization, its pre-industrial mode of production, and Christian culture, Houellebecq aims to arouse awareness among his readers of the necessity of transcendence, which, according to him, can only lead to a fair economic production. Until the very end, Houellebecq aimed at evangelizing the state economy to make it a more moral one (see also Anéantir, 2022) through his parables, which eventually could change society from within. The article will show how agricultural production remains a central aspect of Houellebecq’s whole poetics.

Abstract:
The paper compares key life and spiritual experiences of St. Ignatius of Loyola with his literary works (the Spiritual Exercises, Constitutions and Spiritual Diary). It primarily focuses on events that influenced the “birth of a mystic” especially his stays in Loyola, Manresa and by the river of Cardoner. The paper also discusses a phenomenological description and interpretation of Ignatius’ spiritual metaphors and parables (God’s soldier – knight, life as a spiritual struggle, vocation as the call of the King, Christian life as a choice of Christ’s robe and its adornments). What is typical for Ignatius is that he radically shifted and spiritualized the semantics of this “secular” images. There is a spiritual theme that runs through Constitutions and which is based on a motif of spiritual love and not fear or discomfort. In Spiritual Diary Ignatius moves from spiritual metaphors and seeks new words to describe his mystical experience.

Abstract:
Parabens are Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) used as preservatives to stop the growth of microorganisms in cosmetics, personal care products and some processed foods. They can be ingested or absorbed through the skin and have been found in many body fluids and tissues, including in the breast. In laboratory studies, parabens were found to interfere with the female hormone oestrogen and increase the risk of mammary tumours in animals. However, only a limited number of human studies have been carried out and these are inconclusive regarding the possible link to breast cancer. Nonetheless, exposure to parabens should be reduced by seeking paraben-free cosmetics and personal care products. Regulations should also be tightened, especially for parabens officially recognised to be EDCs. Breast Cancer UK is calling for the phasing out and removal of EDCs from non-essential products.

Abstract:
In the energy market, the black market1 for oil embodies the ancient parable of the blind men and the elephant. Just as the blind men each touched a different part of the elephant and experienced only a fraction of its true nature, so do policymakers perceive the black market for oil through narrow lenses. However, this market, like the imposing elephant, manifests itself in diverse and multifaceted forms that demand nuanced understanding and cannot be dismissed.
