Dear kwildgen ( sorry for that!)
You might find useful to your study a survey of the homiletic
and commentary traditions on Luke 15: 11-32. Despite the increasingly
common recognition within this body of literature of the 'return of
the prodigal son' as the archetypal Christian narrative of
individual/personal repentance ( quality of riotous living and
'muckiness' of pig-sty notwithstanding great variations), there seem
to be two distinct shifts in interpretive directions for the parable
that emerge ( 10th- 13thc.)__ clerical and lay wanderings from/
abuses of the riches of 'the Father's house', rather than Israel's
abandonment of the Father's home and riches..
See esp. :
