A new translation with introduction and commentary

deduces the parable teaches that God's love creates a society of equals. This may be what the parable means to him, but by what criteria is this still on the broad path of 'legitimate' interpretation? The main virtues of Borsch's book are that it is written (for the most part) in lively style, that it shows some of the mystery of the parables, that it makes a real and imaginative attempt to elucidate how the parables might be read today, and that it is warmly personal and gently 'spiritual'.
