Jesus' parables speak in bold images of the kingdom of God, making it present to us as they reveal something of the mystery of his own person. \u003cp\u003eLohfink also offers a review of some of the scholarship in this area--as this topic has sustained research on Jesus since the first telling of these stories--but not for the purposes of debate. His reflections interpret the forty parables and show how they speak of the coming of the reign of God, lead us to Jesus, and reveal the mystery of Jesus himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Gerhard Lohfink was professor of New Testament exegesis at the University of Tübingen.
