About This Tag

Rabbinic and Gospel parables share common literary techniques, using short, illustrative stories to convey meaning through analogy and narrative tension. Both rely on familiar settings—like farming, business, and family dynamics—to engage and encourage interpretation. They often use contrast, surprise, and open-ended conclusions to provoke thought and discussion. Despite occasional differences in emphasis, both traditions demonstrate how storytelling can be a powerful tool for teaching.
