    6. R. C. Trench – Notes on the Parables of Our Lord (1867) Trench tends to over-allegorize, that is, in many of the details of the parables he finds symbolic meaning that is not justifiable by the text. I believe that Jesus did sometimes tell allegorical parables, but an analysis of his audiences and the historical background must serve as a control that limits the common tendency to over-allegorize.
