Praise for the Print Edition
Bernard Brandon Scott’s Hear Then the Parable is a superb synthesis of where we have come from in terms of literary analysis and where we are going in terms of social analysis.
—John Dominic Crossan, president, Society of Biblical Literature
Hear Then the Parable is the most comprehensive study of the parables in half a century. Scott’s reading of the parables is filled with flashes of brilliant insight. Everyone who interprets the parables—in pulpit, classroom, or personal study—will want to own the book.
—David Buttrick, Emeritus Drucilla Buffington Professor of Homiletics and Liturgics, Vanderbilt Divinity School

I have used this commentary since it first came out. It is of great value. Glad to see it is coming as a download. The pages in my old copy are worn out
