Synopsis

Drops From The Deep Well, A Simple Explanation Of Some Of The Parables by William Weldon Champneys is a 19th-century Anglican catechetical work that offers plain explanations of Jesus' parables for children and parish schools. Originally published in 1852, it frames each parable as a window into deeper spiritual truths, using everyday objects and familiar situations. Champneys explains that parables are like pictures painted on the mind, inviting readers to lift the curtain and see the underlying lessons. The book opens with a prefatory note on feeding the babes in Christ and then presents parables such as The Pearl, The Pounds, The Ten Virgins, The Leaven, The Mustard Seed, The Wheat and the Tares, The Sower, and The Wedding Garment, each accompanied by practical exposition, moral exhortation, and questions for reflection. The author uses vivid analogies and a straightforward style suitable for Sunday schools, aiming to cultivate faith, diligence, watchfulness, and readiness for Christ's return. This edition reflects mid-Victorian evangelical pedagogy and devotional instruction for families and churches.
