Yоu аre reаding а critical cоmmentary in which the authоr suggests that the second half of Jesus's parable of the prodigal son was not originally part of the story. He writes, "Jesus used a parable of a rebellious second-born child who was welcomed back by his loving father, to assure them that they would be accepted by God. But as the parables of Jesus began to circulate among Jewish Christians who had been excommunicated from the synagogue, the story developed a second ending reflecting their conflict with synagogue leaders. In this new ending, the older, unloving brother behaves like the synagogue leaders, refusing to accept the brother who had truly been welcomed by God." This view of the parable is an obvious example of which criticism?
