Poet and Peasant and Through Peasant Eyes: A Literary-Cultural Approach to the Parables in Luke (Combined ...

Kenneth E. Bailey

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1983

Highest recommendation
Bailey's unique contribution is that he sat down with a number of trusted Palestinian nomads and listened carefully to their take on the cultural issues behind various parables. He contends, with some justice, that this group of people have something in contact with ...

Kenneth E. Bailey

Concordia Pub House, 1973

The Cross and the Prodigal
I have used this book for years in helping people understand the middle eastern context of the parable. Dr. Bailey's experience and insights bring the text alive in ways our western interpretation sorely misses. I would recommend this for anyone who is serious about ...

Occupancy Estimation and Modeling: Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species Occurrence

Darryl I. MacKenzie, James D. Nichols, ...

Academic Press, 2005

Great book for understanding site occupancy modeling
I think this is a pretty good book. It is the only reference on this relatively new type of patch occupancy modeling. It is mainly focused on the models of MacKenzie et al. and the Royle and Nichols model. This is a great place to start if you know nothing about ...

Through peasant eyes: More Lucan parables, their culture and style

Kenneth E Bailey

W. B. Eerdmans Pub. Co, 1980

Jacob & the Prodigal: How Jesus Retold Israel's Story

Kenneth E. Bailey

InterVarsity Press, 2003

Drink deeply from Luke 15
There are portions of the Bible that are shockingly powerful and clear. One such portion is Luke 15 with the Parable of the Lost Sheep/Lost Coin/Lost Son. Bailey is as fine a commentator on this subject as you may find seeing how through this parable Jesus is retelling ...
