Love's Fool

Six shameful acts in the Parable of the Prodigal Son reveal that God is Love's Fool, Glynn suggests respectfully... "The Prodigal Son is, when understood, an insightful parable about the nature of the Christian and Jewish God, whom I respectfully call ‘Love’s Fool’.   It is the quality and actions of costly love, portrayed by the father character in the parable, which informs us about the nature of Jesus’ God. God is not an old man with two sons. God is the love that the fictitious old man exhibits. It is a love that can withstand insult and humiliation. It is a love that includes offenders. It is a love deemed foolish. It is a love that values the relationships between people above society’s and religion’s conventions."
