“…A consensus appears elusive on the issue, and several scholars have gravitated towards a similar middle position seen above for Isaiah 5—namely, that the stone text found its way into the PT tradition before Mark or Thomas but after Jesus (e.g., Kloppenborg 2006: 240; Crossan 1971).…”

“…(Onyenali 2013;Brawley 1995;Kimball 1993). The latter perspective is that the stone quotation is more or less detached from the parable proper (Dehandschutter 1974), serving as an awkward appendage that attempts to fix the problem posed by the parable's ending with the death of the 'son' (Kloppenborg 2006: 241;Crossan 1971;Jeremias 1963: 73-74).…”

“…For recent summaries of the debate, see the exchanges among Kloppenborg, Gathercole and Goodacre (2014). Of greater importance for the present discussion is the broad consensus that has emerged: the source-critical question for Thomas as a whole is different than that for each individual logion (Meier 2012; Kloppenborg 2006: 248;Crossan 1971). Scholars should evaluate each logion on a case-by-by case basis, which is precisely where the focus has been for PT.…”

“…GThom 65 lacks the apparent metaphorical correspondences suggested by the Matthean and Markan versions (e.g., vineyard, landlord, servants, son, fruit, 'others'-see section 4 below). Thus, it appears to be a straightforward vineyard story that lacks traces of early church allegorization (Arnal 2000;de Moor 1998;Crossan 1971). Moreover, the details of GThom 65 are a more accurate reflection of viticulture (e.g., it is not a new vineyard that is immediately leased) ( Kloppenborg 2006).…”

The Parable of the Tenants (Mk 12.1-12; Mt. 21.33-45; Lk. 20.9-19; GThom 65-66) is one of the most debated of all the parables ascribed to Jesus. Situated at the intersection of a host of important issues in Gospels scholarship-ranging from the synoptic problem, to the use of the OT in the NT, to the historical Jesus-it has generated a seemingly overwhelming quantity of secondary research in recent decades. This article aims to help orient scholars to the main areas of research on the parable, focusing specifically on six topics: narrative outline, formative influences (social-historical setting and intertextuality), source-critical hypotheses, symbolic/metaphorical correspondences of the narrative elements, authenticity and the 'original' version, and broad lines of interpretation. The conclusion offers reflections on what the substantial research on the parable can tell us about parable interpretation in general.
