| Σύνοψη: | The reading and interpretation of the Zacchaeus episode gives rise to diverse viewpoints among biblical scholars. Some commentators classify it as a vindication story in which Jesus is depicted as striving to relieve Zacchaeus of the social stereotyping that characterised and labelled him as a notorious sinner because of his "despised profession". On the other hand, there are other commentators who use the concept of conversion as a window for reading the same episode. This leads us to examine how rural dwellers read and interpret Lk 19:1-10. This article is an attempt to listen to rural people in Mbinga (Tanzania) and to enable them to engage meaningfully with the Zacchaeus debate. |
