Non-Compliance in an Economy of Exploitation, or...

...An Alternative Reading of the Parable of the Talents by Mike Todd. Interesting, can't say that I buy it. Jesus uses the harvest metaphor in plenty of places and ways so I don't see that the main argument works here. What did resonate is that he places the story in context with
It’s very interesting that this parable leads right into the Judgment of the Nations, otherwise known as the parable of the sheep and goats.

It trigger the thought that the sheep and goats gives a picture of what invtesting in the Kingdom looks like. Thanks Mike. BTW While I don't 'buy' the alternate reading, it's a good read and worth pondering.
