This paper uses biblical criticism such as source, textual, and historical form, in order to explain Christ's theme in the parable of the "Unjust Steward" found in "Luke".
"In the story of the Unjust Steward, a steward, or estate manager, was called to account for wasting his employer's goods and money. Realizing that he would lose his job, and not wishing to earn a living by manual labor or begging, the steward quickly called several of the master's debtors and adjusted their accounts, thereby making friends for the future. When his master learned of the action, he praised the steward for his prudence. Many see a problem as to why Jesus used such a character as the unjust steward, and even told of his commendation. However, there is a valuable lesson in this story found in Luke. Biblical criticism can help to decipher the moral lesson held within the parable of the Unjust Steward."
