The Cross and the Prodigal
I have used this book for years in helping people understand the middle eastern context of the parable. Dr. Bailey's experience and insights bring the text alive in ways our western interpretation sorely misses. I would recommend this for anyone who is serious about understanding this parable. Unfortunately, it will whet your appetite for more middle eastern understandings of the other ...

InterVarsity Press, 2003

Theologians Only Need Apply
Kenneth Bailey, one of my pastor's professors from seminary, is a real expert on the cultures of the Middle East and both their impact on the way the Judaeo-Christian Scriptures were written and how they should be interpreted by Western Bible students today. I purchased this volume out of curiosity after reading another of Dr. Bailey's books (which I've also reviewed here). I was not ...

Poet and Peasant and Through Peasant Eyes: A Literary-Cultural Approach to the Parables in Luke (Combined ...

13 reviews
Kenneth E. Bailey

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1983

Highest recommendation
Bailey's unique contribution is that he sat down with a number of trusted Palestinian nomads and listened carefully to their take on the cultural issues behind various parables. He contends, with some justice, that this group of people have something in contact with the original culture that these parables arose in, and thus can help us understand the unstated assumptions and cultural ...

Kenneth E. Bailey

Concordia Publishing House, 1992

Excellent commentary on Shepherding Christ's Flock
Bailey's expertise in the Middle-East and its languages has allowed him to write a fascinating linkage between Luke 15 and Psalm 23. He weighs the material and evidences carefully and exegetially very well. Great insights into sheep and their care from models we are not use to. More profound and accurate view of shepherd and sheep than Phillip Keller's works. House, home, father and lost are ...
