[QUOTE="Glass*Soul, post: 61106351, member: 111155"] The reason I asked is that during my research on this topic, and in this topic itself, I have encountered a goodly number of rather detailed descriptions of first century Jewish wedding customs as they apply to this parable. However, none of them have been referenced. If there is a rich body of references that has survived from that time period, that all of these details are being drawn from, I would like to examine it. However, if there is not, then they are not facts that I need to have in hand to help me understand it. They become, instead, echo chambers that amplify a specific interpretation after its inception. For instance, Talitha mentioned that the wedding garments were put on over one's outer clothing and distinguished invited guests from party crashers. I'll quote her below. Talitha, you may be 100% correct, but before I use this piece of information to help me interpret this parable, I would like to know where it comes from. [/QUOTE]
