Paper Summary:
This paper describes one of the most well-known parables the "Prodigal Son" or "Lost Son" (Luke 15:11-32), which encompasses all the ideas of Christian doctrine. The author discusses the literal and the spiritual or metaphorical interpretations of the message of the story and relates the way that Franco Zeffirelli directed the telling of this parable in his movie "Jesus of Nazareth". The author concludes that Zeffirelli probably chose to include this scene in the movie as a way to visually demonstrate the response that Jesus' listeners had when incorporating the story into their own lives.From the Paper:
"Because Jesus' mission on Earth was to spread the word of God and wash away people's sins, the purpose of this particular parable is to show that even the most corrupt individual can still enter the Kingdom of Heaven if he or she places full faith in the Lord and asks to be forgiven for his or her sins. In order to be permitted to enter the Lord's Kingdom, one must trust and believe completely in the words of Jesus and the omnipotent supremacy of God over all things human and earthly."More papers on The Parable of the "Lost Son":
