Proponents of this view argue that the story of Lazarus and the rich man has much in common with other stories which are agreed-upon parables, both in language and content (e.g. Tom Wright and Joachim Jeremias both treat it as a "parable". Other Christians consider that this is a parable created by Jesus and told to his followers. By contrast, in all of the other parables Jesus refers to a central character by a description, such as "a certain man", "a sower", and so forth. Supporters of this view point to a key detail in the story: the use of a personal name (Lazarus) not found in any other parable. Jerome and others view the story not as a parable, but as an actual event which was related by Jesus to his followers.
