In this episode, Heath Curtis (pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Worden, IL, and Zion Lutheran Church, Carpenter, IL) talks about his piece in the FritzSchrift on allegory: “Jesus’ Allegory of the Good Samaritan.” While allegory can be and has been taken too far, Curtis contends that the very purpose of allegory historically is the same that our Lord gives to the parables: to hide meaning from one group but to reveal it to another group. Thus, to interpret the parables rightly is to keep these two groups in mind and thus two layers of interpretation.
