Description

Honored in 2006 as a “Year’s Perfect Book for Preachers” by Preaching magazine. Where is the cross within the parable of the prodigal son? For centuries, Muslims have known as attention to the daddy’s forgiveness on this parable with the intention to question the will for a Mediator between humanity and God. In The Cross & the Prodigal, Kenneth E. Bailey–New Testament scholar and long-time missionary to the Middle East–undertakes to respond to this query. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of both the New Testament and Middle Eastern culture, Bailey presents an interpretation of this parable from a Middle Eastern point of view and, in doing so, powerfully demonstrates its essentially Christian message. Here Bailey highlights the underlying tensions between law and love, servanthood and sonship, honor and forgiveness that grant this story such timeless spiritual and theological power.
