Jülicher, Adolf

A Dictionary of the Bible | 1997 | | Copyright

Jülicher, Adolf (1857–1938) German NT scholar and professor at Marburg who wrote a seminal work on Jesus' parables. He rejected the historical authenticity of explanations ascribed to Jesus (e.g. Mark 4: 13–20) that are in terms of allegory. Parables were stories making one point only: the explanations are, he judged, the work of the next-generation Church.
