THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND
by James Christensen

The Parable of the Blind is one of the
best-known sections from Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount. It reads:
“Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?”
Jesus used the metaphor of the blind men to suggest to his followers
that they examine their own hearts and souls before calling attention
to the flaws of others. James Christensen has taken the parable in a
new, more light-hearted direction in The Blind Leading the Blind.
Christensen sees his blind men as archetypal figures, embodying
the different ways people deal with difficult situations. All four men
are lost, but their expressions reveal their attitudes: one man is
unhappy, one is content with his lot, one man is confused and one has
tumbled into the pit entirely. The Blind Leading the Blind is a
whimsical reminder to remain humble—and to give others the benefit of
the doubt. |
