This week Jodie and Matthew delve into the New Testament to discuss Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed. It’s a short parable that is only a couple verses long in each of the synoptic gospels, but much like a mustard seed, it packs a punch. However, it’s brevity can make it difficult to interpret, so Jodie and Matthew set off to explore the variety of ways it has been interpreted, for better or for worse.Works Referenced and Recommended Readings:Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi by Amy Jill LevineHowes, L.
