I've wondered whether the Parable of the Prodigal Son might in some stage of its history have been a story about the integration of Gentiles within the New Israel. Now there's very little new in biblical interpretation, and presumably someone has said this before (those pigs are a giveaway, for a start). So the Gentiles are brought back into the fold, when they are properly and rationally ready --
Such a rich, full account of the famous parable: thank you!
As a younger brother ...
