About this listen
The Parable of the Dishonest Manager (or Shrewd Manager), found in Luke 16:1-8, is a notoriously difficult text to interpret. Why does Jesus appear to praise the dishonest steward, and does he intend for us to imitate such actions? In this episode, I will look at this parable in its historical and cultural context, and help us to understand how Jesus and his audience might have understood its meaning. I will also offer some thoughts on Jesus' teaching following the parable concerning "unrighteous wealth."
