Adalbert Rebić ; Catholic Faculty of Theology, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The author discusses some new significant aspects of otherwise very well known Jesus' parables about the lost son (Lk 15,11-32). Offers new perspectives on modern exegetic literature on the critical-historical contemplation of parables, provides a literary and historical context which reveals the fundamental features of Luke's theology and Christology in a unique way. Offers new insight into the structure of parables. Takes an in-depth and detailed look at the Old Testament and Jewish background of parables and concludes by giving the most important biblical-theological emphasis on the parable of the lost son.
