no.... it's a literary device... I'm think allusion?

5/1/2008 7:16:27 PM

I think a parable is a story the some meaning or point to get out of it and the bible has a bunch of those already. An allusion may be the right term. I have no clue though.

i think not allusion

[Edited on May 1, 2008 at 7:17 PM. Reason : and also not parable]

oxymoron

it's not specific to the Bible, though

I mean, you have allude to whatever you want.

5/1/2008 7:18:23 PM

allusions don't have to be from the bible, or any religious scriptures at that.

5/1/2008 7:18:25 PM

allegory
