"In this book James Breech helps us get behind and beyond canonized commonplaces in our views of Jesus and his sayings, and opens up his momentous originality. By locating this originality in the everyday world of Jesus' parables, which here receive a searching analysis in terms of contemporary narrative-study, the author uncovers a world-shaper who was above even his first interpreters but whose vision can speak all the more directly to our own secularity and its quest for reality.... The Silence of Jesus represents a contribution both to the study of Christianity and modern culture."
