And Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old." Mat 13:52
THE KINGDOM PARABLES Foreword Mathew 13 contains seven parables told in one day in a series all starting with the phrase, “The <strong>Kingdom</strong> of God is like ……” These are generally known as the <strong>Kingdom</strong> Parabales. The hermeneutics that apply to these parables goes beyond the basic parable interpretations because we have the interpretations of Jesus himself for some of them. Jesus also seems to assert that these are not just parables but treasures from which generations will be able to draw understandings. Based on this granting of the privilege of interpreting these parables, based on historical experience of the church, I have ventured to correlate the growth of the Church with these parables. The strange fact is that it does fit. However I want to assert that this method of allegorizing is not normal nor permissible to parables. If a strict hermeneutic teacher want to question these interpretations, I understand that. I hold that we should not be trying to do this with other parables where we have no such permission from our Lord. With these forword I present these strange interpretations to the students. I did this study way back in 1980s. Hence it is possible that a discerning householder of faith could bring out more treasures after all these two decades of historical unfolding. Prof. M. M. Ninan, San Jose, CA 2
