“The Parable of the Prodigal Son is perhaps one of the best known and most loved of all the parables told by Jesus. Most of us know it is the story of a son who goes off and loses his money abroad. Yet his father loves him and wants him back in the family home. The older brother however has a totally different idea. Simple enough story but knowing the local culture of the time brings out so many more hidden issues that are just totally missed by most preachers. I know I was one of them but this simple to understand little book opened my eyes to a lot of things my theology teachers never taught me.”Let’s face it in all honesty we will probably all have heard the story of the ever loving Father ready to forgive the wayward son. However who is being told about the disgrace the son had brought to the family by forcing him to sell a large share of his farm. No-one kept money sitting around in a bank account their assets were land and the animals grazing on it. Owning less land would lead to the father sitting lower down the table losing face and social status in the local community.Did you know that the older brother’s simple refusal to attend the celebration was also an insult to every member of the local community It would have had yet another big blow on the father’s reputation. Yet the father still showed his love.To help us to see the real story with the full cultural background I have taken the prodigal son story and retold it in real time through the eyes of the FOUR family members. Learning firstly about the effect of the prodigal son’s action on the 4 family members and local villagers means that we are then able to reconstruct this complete story. Only by seeing the stories throuigh the eyes of the orginal listeners can we bring the prodigal son story to life in the way I believe Jesus was telling it to the Pharisee audience and why the story had such a big impact on them.Easy to read style and written originally to be used as a series of five sermons bringing the message home to the laypeople and other church leaders.This version two has involved the complete rewrite of the middle section looking at the relationships inside the family. This has enabled us to see more clearly the cultural background as a means of identifying what Jesus was really saying to the people listening to him.By the way there are a couple of other short stories added as bonus designed to give you something to think about.
