| − | #REDIRECT [[Biblical Parables]]
| + | The word parable is from the Greek parabolē, which is a title given to any fictional narrative designed to illustrate a single point. The parable differs from a [[fable]] in that the setting is not magical (talking animals for instance). The [[allegory]] differs from the parable in length (allegories are longer) and may encompass more ideals than a parable. |
