Matthew’s Parable of the Royal Wedding Feast

A Sociorhetorical Interpretation

By: Ruth Christa Mathieson

Ruth Christa Mathieson’s unique reading of Matthew’s parable of the royal wedding feast (Matt 22:1–14), which concludes with the king’s demand that one of the guests be bound and cast out into the outer darkness, focuses on the means of the underdressed guest’s expulsion. Using sociorhetorical interpretation, Mathieson draws the parable into conversation with early Jewish narratives of the angel Raphael binding hands and feet (1 Enoch; Tobit) and the protocol for expelling individuals from the community in Matt 18. She asserts that readers are invited to consider if the person who is bound and cast out is a danger to the little ones of the community of faith unless removed and restrained.

The Scoop on Ruth

All in the Family, Sense and Nun-sense, Along the Way, the P" Source"

By: Ruth M. Penksa, gnsh

What's "The Scoop on Ruth"? When you open the book you will enter my world and discover what I have been about. It is a tell all, an honest revelation. That world begins with "All in the Family' and the people and events where growing up happens. In "Sense and Nun-sense" you will be privy to some events even to this day hidden from Sister Superior- like "The Chocolate Cover-Up". Then "Along the Way" there are defining moments and people that ultimately influence us to become who we are.Yes, even when a good Catholic girl flunks Communion. The final section "The 'P' Source" began in the novitiate when no talent me was encouraged to write "gospels". My creative pen found other modes of expression, into writing prayers, greetings, or capturing events. And, there is room for your story to come alive here. It's because I was a copy cat. I borrowed Jesus' style. So, if the parable fits....
