9781606419007: Understanding the Parables of Jesus Christ

Synopsis

Parables appear to be simple stories, but if we are to understand more fully the gospel of Jesus Christ, it is essential that we understand the principles the Savior taught in his parables. This volume examines thirty of Jesus parables, reminding us that these vignettes are packed with spiritual truths and a density of meaning that is not always readily discernible. Drawing upon latter-day scriptures, teachings of modern prophets and apostles, and insights from other biblical scholars, the authors provide helpful commentaries about the content and layered meaning of these well-loved stories. They also discuss how we can apply each parable to our own lives.
