I got to talk with fre­quent Friends Jour­nal author John Andrew Gallery this week. His lat­est arti­cle for us explores a gospel mod­el of par­ent­hood. I most appre­ci­at­ed his take that many of the fig­ures in the para­bles were not nec­es­sar­i­ly metaphor­i­cal fill-ins for God but faith­ful peo­ple already liv­ing in the pow­er of the king­dom. I’ll be chew­ing on his take on the prodi­gal son’s for­giv­ing father for awhile.
