The Stories of the Kingdom: A Study of the Parables of Jesus
Overview
In this volume, G.R.H. Shafto provides a holistic examination of all of the parables of Jesus. “Believing that satisfactory understanding of the parables can be reached only by relating each and all of them to the central purpose of Christ’s teaching—the Kingdom of God,” Shafto structures his study in a way that keeps “that relationship always before the reader.”
