Funk, Bernard Brandon Scott, and James R. Butts. It is part of The Jesus Seminar Series published by Polebridge Press. 1988. It has 107 pages of text, notes, references, etc. About This Item: A concise and readable introduction to the parables for all readers, this first report of the Jesus Seminar reviews the authenticity of all gospel versions of the thirty-three parables attributed to Jesus. Individual versions of each parable are grouped together and arranged for easy reference and comparison. The parables, according to the scholars, are foundational, bedrock connection with what little we have and know of Jesus. All we basically have has come to us from the church. Some have a high level of trust in what has been passed on, others like me, do not. If you want an opinion that has no ecclesiastical connections and is an honest attempt to sort through the chaff for the wheat, this is it on the parables. I don't know if they have done it with tongue in cheek, but calling it a red letter addition is remembering the old bibles put out that put in red the words of Jesus (I do not recall if they put anything else in red). In the scholars version, much of what would have been red years ago is no longer red. They do this in the limited context of only the recorded parables. They also expand beyond the tried and true foursome of our "canonical" gospels and include all the other gospels (yes, there are many more) and high light in red when it rings true to their studies that "yes, we think this comes from Jesus." This might sound crazy, but it is a beginning for some of us to realize that yes, there is a difference between what he said and did and how he presently is being remembered in Christianity. The life and teachings of Jesus tend to be overshadowed by the death and resurrection the church is preoccupied by. These scholars have moved that shadow out of the way and allowed some really appreciated light to shine on these texts. The book is a soft cover in good condition. There are no marks in the text. The binding is firm. The hinges are solid. The pages are intact. (See photos). Please see photos for details and complete Table of Contents of both books.
