"[T]he parables of Jesus are best read in constant conversation with the world and its many forms of literature. They belong to the world because in some measure they belong to human nature. They may even be called "worldly" or "secular"; for God loves the world depicted in them with a vividness and humanity that only Jesus could fully express."
- Reading the Parables, Richard Lischer (Westminster John Knox Press)
