Synopsis
The parables of Jesus Christ were as much designed to conceal as they were to reveal. The authors of this new commentary examine the layers of meaning in the parables that account for roughly one-third of the Savior's recorded sayings. Added background, such as historical details, cultural customs, nuances of language, and local geography, adds context useful in clarifying the meaning of the thirty-one parables recorded in the New Testament. Incorporating statements from modern Church leaders, the authors also include a "Personal Application" section highlighting the continued practical relevance of the parables in our day. Crack the code of these deceptively simple parables and derive the full benefit of their precious teachings.
