| Summary: | In the middle of his account of justification and sanctification, Karl Barth turns to Luke 15:11-32, the Parable of the Lost or Prodigal Son. Interpreting it in the context of the whole Gospel, he draws an apparently unprecedented association between Jesus Christ and the younger son, who goes into the far country and squanders his existence. This provocative christological reading arises from a profoundly intertextual imagination, and its coherence emerges as it is aligned along the referential correlates Barth evokes. In his comprehensive theological retelling, this paradigmatic tale of grace becomes the parable not only of reconciliation, but also of election, and finally of God. |
