Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School, states:

"Parables are meant to prompt us to see the world in a different way, to challenge, and at times to indict. We might be better off thinking less about what they 'mean' and more about what they can 'do': remind, provoke, refine, and disturb."Exploring the parable of the Rich Fool found in Luke 12:13-21, Dr. Bond calls people of faith to action - reminding us it is time to put political affiliations aside and respond to the crisis in our country from our higher, primary allegiance as disciples of Christ.
