Conversations with Scripture: The Parables
Overview
The parables are vivid—arresting stories that make us think and teach us about our relationship with God and others. From talents to mustard seeds, and from shepherds to Samaritans, Jesus used common reference points to teach important truths. But the parables are filled with ambiguity and room for interpretation. With historical and cultural background, and careful scholarly detail, William Brosend helps readers explore the beauty, richness, and joy of the parables. Chapters are organized by parable types, such as seeking and growth.
