Parabolic Figures or Narrative Fictions?

More about the book

Hedrick argues that parables should not be viewed as mere moral or religious teachings but as realistic narrative fictions. He suggests that these stories immerse readers in unique worlds, prompting personal discoveries as they confront and reassess their beliefs. Through this lens, parables serve as a vehicle for self-exploration rather than theological instruction, inviting readers to engage with the narratives on a deeper, more introspective level.
