Abstract
The interrelationship between tradition and redaction in parable interpretation
This paper investigates the legitimacy and possibility of isolating the parables from their holistic literary gospel-context for the purpose of hearing and understanding them from other possible angles. The conclusion reached is that the parables as aesthetic objects (Via) have a certain independence and that they contend with the gospels for the focal attention of the reader. As metaphors they are generative of multiple meanings and their 'meaning' cannot be one-sidedly forclosed in their present literary context or in some historical moment. When the parables are read as part and parcel of Ihe gospels as Hterary macro-Gestalten this holistic context, however, should not be ignored.
