Cross and the Prodigal: Luke 15 through the Eyes of Middle Eastern Peasants by Kenneth E. Bailey

From the Publisher

Where is the Cross in the Parable of the Prodigal Son? For centuries, Muslims have used the father's forgiveness to question the need for a mediator between humanity and God. Kenneth Bailey presents this parable from a Middle Eastern perspective and, in doing so, powerfully demonstrates its essentially Christian message. This revised edition of Bailey's classic, groundbreaking work now includes a new introduction and is updated throughout. In it he highlights the underlying tensions between law and love, servanthood and sonship, honor and forgiveness that grant this story such timeless spiritual and theological power.
