Parables about parables. The case of Cain and Abel and of Jewish Mysticism

Marcel Poorthuis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › Scientific › peer-review

Abstract

The distinction between exegetical parables and rhetorical parables is thin. Parables are not always a direct product of the Biblical text, but some parables should be seen as comments on parables. The case of Cain shows that later Jewish parables radicalize the earlier ones, bu accusing God himself.
