Parables of Jesus
Classic definition of a parable (by C. H. Dodd): "At its simplest a parable is a metaphor or simile drawn from nature or common life arresting the hearer by its vividness or strangeness, and leaving the mind in suffcient doubt about its application to tease it into active thought" (C. H. Dodd, The Parables of the Kingdom, New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1961, p. 5).
