Perhaps it was not meant to be read; yet like many this parable of the shrewd manager leaves a lot to consider. My best understanding came from reading Justin Ukpong, theologian Nigeria. In his inculturation exegesis I was able to see the Lukean perspective and the Godly conclusion. The master is not in my opinion God for God does not need to make excuses for dishonesty nor in effect reduce himself to being shrewd. This parable does though have a wider and deeper meaning of greed, social justice, forgiveness<br />We have to take time to do this parable justice and dig out its altruistic meaning, for God's sake!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769628967051605752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34915849.post-88791139377179042422013-09-18T10:18:55.392-04:002013-09-18T10:18:55.392-04:00I left a lengthy comment and it failed to transmit...I left a lengthy comment and it failed to transmit.
