Very interesting insight. Especially glad that you remind us that it is money that is moved about. So many assume that it is an allegory about God given talents and skip the economics
I needed to read this. Thank you. I’ve heard it taught so differently and it never made sense - heart wise nor head wise - to me. Last time I heard it taught in a class setting I voiced my feelings and it didn’t seem to resonate with anybody. That can be an especially lonely experience in the context of “belonging” to a church.
This so refreshing. The classic American reaction is to use this to justify capitalism. The master admits to being a bad guy and all the prosperity types are like he’s a stand in for my dad.

Yes yes yes. Diana Butler Bass hit this vital angle yesterday as well! (Also I think you mean Matthew 25, not 15)
