内容简介：
There will be a discussion with the parable from Mark, then showing how parables operate as poetic fictions, how parables can serve to generate new literary works and ways of thinking (as with the Butler), and then suggest a theoretical methodology (cognitive poetics) that works especially well to make sense of parables as a literary form.
