Abstract

The purpose of this paper will be to present a brief and comparative overview of the most significant previous investigations and interpretations of the Parable of the Unjust Steward. This study is not an attempt to draw up a chronological history of how the parable has been interpreted in past eras. When older interpretations are incorporated it is for the sake of historical perspective or because they are significant. The life situations- which may have prompted a certain view have largely been omitted. Neither has a conscious effort been made to include a study of hermeneutical principles. The present paper is intended to be practical for the reader in that it holds forth for comparison the end results of the major and most significant exegetical procedure which has been applied to the Parable of the Unjust Steward.
