The Scandal of the Gospels: Jesus, Story, and Offense
McCracken, David (Professor of English and Comparative Religion, Professor of English and Comparative Religion, University of Washington)
McCracken argues that the gospels are in an important sense `occasions for offence', and that the Jesus of the gospels is a scandal (skandalon in the original Greek) and never more scandalous than when he speaks in parables. McCracken seeks to recover the gospels' narrative sense of Jesus as skandalon.
