Jesus and Postmodernism

In this highly provocative sequel to his pathbreaking work, "The Silence of Jesus: The Authentic Voice of the Historical Man," James Breech again traces Jesus the storyteller. He looks to the parables of Jesus to divine their uniqueness, their narrative integrity, their truth, and the ethical stance of Jesus himself. A masterful interpreter of ancient narrative, Breech also engages the two most interesting movements in contemporary theology -- postmodernism and narrative theology. He asks whether Jesus' stories -- and ours -- have meaning and moral.
