Update Your Parables Bibliography
Readers of this blog know that I have a very high opinion of Stories with Intent by Klyne Snodgrass. And, yes, I am willing to admit that part of my reasoning is that I like saying the name Klyne Snodgrass. SWI is still the most comprehensive book on the parables ever written. But while you were binge-watching Stranger Things the topic of parables has become a trend.
David Gowler, The Parables after Jesus: Their Imaginative Receptions across Two Millennia
Ruben Zimmermann, Puzzling the Parables of Jesus: Methods and Interpretation
R. Steven Notley and Ze'ev Safrai, Parables of the Sages
John P. Meier A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus, Volume V: Probing the Authenticity of the Parables
Amy-Jill Levine, Short Stories by Jesus: the Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi
For a comparison of these last two books by Brant Pitre (who studied under both authors) see:

So what am I missing? Any other recent treatments of Jesus' parables or parables in the ANE more generally?
