EXCERPT:
The parable of the unjust steward in Luke 16:1-13 is well known for its
vexing exegetical difficulties. Who is the "kyrios" of v. 8? Why would he
praise a dishonest steward? How could Jesus possibly hold the steward up
as an example for his followers? What is the relationship of w. 8b-13 to
the rest of the parable? J. S. Kloppenborg goes so far as to say that "in the
ninety years since the publication of Adolf Julicher's monumental study on
the parables of Jesus there is hardly a consensus on any single aspect of
this parable." --from page 29
