Myths and Parables

John D. Crossan compares life with the story. This article examines several aspects of the story. First, I will examine the relationship between stories and human life, and how it is restricted by language. Secondly, I will study the difference between myths and metaphor and the extreme opposition in the field of stories. Third, I study the prodigal son and reveal the necessary elements of metaphor. The story is used to define the human reality, and the use of certain stories has caused different reactions from the audience.

It is also possible to distinguish between "myths" and "repairable" by using works of the Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan. According to this typology the myth "establishes" the world and figuratively "converts" it. The myth is aimed at solving tension, but the metaphor emphasizes that there is no solution. The myth satisfies their audience through reconciliation and overall perception, but the metaphor conveys a challenging worldview emphasizing not danger - weakness - power but - death - life 40.

The term "myth" generally does not apply to stories, and its obvious purpose is to state doctrine or behavioral standards. Instead, use the term "fable" or a descriptive story. A well-known example of these stories is the metaphor of the New Testament. Analogy also plays an important role in Sufism (Islamic mysticism), Rabbi (Jewish Biblical interpretation) literature, Hashidism (Jewish worship), and Zen Buddhism. This metaphor is basically non mythological. The idea presented by metaphor is known or should be known from other sources. A metaphor has lower functions than a myth. They may clarify specific things to individuals and groups, but they will not receive mythological revelation.
