  • Summary

  • The parable of the workers in the vineyard, found in Matthew 20:1-16, is a story about a vineyard owner, a group of workers, and the wages they are paid. In both scholarly interpretation and popular preaching, this parable is often made into a story about the afterlife and eternal rewards. But what if, in telling a story about workers and wages, Jesus actually intended to say something about workers and wages? In this episode, I offer three readings of this parable, each of which focuses on what the parable might teach us about the economics of God’s kingdom.
