Das Gleichnis vom ungerechten Haushalter (Lk 16,1–8)

Abstract The present article proposes what can be labeled an ecclesiological interpretation of the highly debated parable unjust steward. Jesus (probably Historical Jesus) adhorts his followers to practice solidarity – also in financial matters towards each other, something that obviously works pretty well among criminals (who keep together since one knows about skeletons closet other and vice versa ). It is typical narrative humor he makes audience learn from criminal subjects; learning others, even a Jesuanic strategy should not underrated research on Jesus. Apart presenting new steward, this aims at documenting forgotten text, especially 19th century some patristic sources, e.g. exegetical tradition attributed Theophilus Antioch cited by Jerome (see n. 2).
