IN a beautiful distant kingdom, in which the sun never goes down on its everlasting green gardens, ruled, from the beginning of time even to the present day, Queen Phantasie. With full hands, she used to distribute the abundance of her blessings among her subjects. She did this for many hundreds of years, and was beloved and respected by all who knew her. The heart of the Queen, however, was too great to allow her to stop at her own land with her charities. One day a messenger brought her news of a place called Earth. There she heard that men lived there; who passed their lives in sorrowful seriousness, in the midst of care and toil. In the royal attire of her everlasting youth and beauty, the Queen descended upon the earth. Unto these she sent the finest gifts from her kingdom, and ever since the beauteous Queen came through the fields of earth, men were merry at their labours, and happy in their seriousness. Her children, she also sent forth to bring happiness to all mankind. ….and so the scene is set for the stories and tales in the Oriental Story Book.

The Oriental Wife is the story of two assimilated Jewish children from Nuremberg who flee Hitler’s Germany and struggle to put down roots elsewhere. When they meet up again in New York, they fall in love both with each other and with America, believing they have found a permanent refuge. But just when it looks as though nothing can ever touch them again, their lives are shattered by a freakish accident and a betrayal that will reverberate into the life of their American daughter. In its portrait of the immigrant experience, and of the tragic gulf between generations, The Oriental Wife illuminates the collision of American ideals of freedom and happiness with certain sterner old world virtues.

Whilst it is true that Jesus' parables are timeless, speaking to all people in all ages and cultures, they are essentially Middle Eastern stories set in a culture very different from our own. They really only make sense when understood in their oriental setting. Without seeing them as skilfully crafted oriental stories, we will miss their beauty and the impact of their message. This book sets out to ask the question: How did the original listeners understand the parables when they were first told by Jesus? It does this by setting the stories of Jesus in their cultural background and explaining the parables as they originally intended to be understood.
