Adolf Jülicher (26 January 1857 – 2 August 1938) was a German scholar and biblical exegete. Specifically, he was the Professor of Church History and New Testament Exegesis, at the University of Marburg. He was born in Falkenberg near Berlin and died in Marburg.
Jülicher differentiated between Jesus' parables and allegories.[1] His "one-point' analysis identified parables as having a single point of reference to the real world, rather than several, as in an allegory.[1] His approach has not held up completely to later research, but it remains foundational to all investigations of parables and allegories.[1]
