520 |a Using the inter-contextual hermeneutics methodology and focusing on the exceptional profit of the first two servants, this essay reads the parable of the talents from a non-elite perspective in Matthew's literary and historical-social contexts, with the local money lending business in Nigeria as a point of departure. It sees the exploitation of the poor by the rich through their agents that was going on in the society in Jesus' time as the historical context of the parable and concludes that the parable is a critique of this system and by extension of exploitation in our own time. The master and the first two servants who exploited the poor stand condemned at the last judgment while the third servant who, fearing God and refusing to take part in the exploitation, openly criticized the master represents the prophetic voice of the gospel criticizing exploitation. He is the role model for Christians.
