Items related to The Parables of Jesus: A Verse-by-Verse Commentary
Synopsis
The Parables of Jesus is a verse-by-verse commentary of Jesus's parables found in the synoptic gospels. Each Bible verse is replicated, making it easier to compare the scriptures to the comments in the commentary without needing the Bible at one's side. In a thorough, well-organized, thought-provoking manner, the book weaves together historical context, linguistic connotations, the wisdom of other scholars, and the author's own compelling observations. The Parables of Jesus answers numerous questions including, why did the foolish virgins lack oil for their lamps at midnight, and what does this imply for those trying to follow the Savior's path today? What does the return of the prodigal son reveal about God's expectant love for the House of Israel and the prospect of hope and healing for each of His children? How can the Ten Commandments be reduced to the two commandments, the great commandment to love the Lord thy God and the second unto it, to love thy neighbor as thyself? This is an excellent reference volume for study and a source to teach the parables of Jesus.

Review
"I love the way that this book, The Parables of Jesus, helps me to really understand the powerful teachings that Jesus desires to imprint upon our hearts and minds. Mr. Dorius masterfully weaves together, verse by verse, a tapestry of knowledge gleaned from an understanding of the setting in which each parable was given, commentary from multiple scholarly sources, relevant passages found elsewhere in the Bible that reinforce the concepts being taught, in addition to his own valuable insights. I am a better disciple of Christ because of this book." --Steven L. Dixon, MD
"In this perceptive, phrase-by-phrase exposition of Christ's parables, Dorius thoughtfully weaves together historical context, linguistic connotations, the wisdom of other scholars, and his own compelling observations. A thorough, well-organized, thought-provoking work. Why did the foolish virgins lack oil for their lamps at midnight, and what does this imply for those of us trying to follow the Savior's path today? What does the return of the prodigal son reveal about God's expectant love for the House of Israel and the prospect of hope and healing for you, me, and each of His children? I will keep this volume on my shelf and refer to it each time I study or teach the parables of Christ." --Quinn Bastian, PhD
"What an engaging commentary, it is replete with important insights into the Master teacher's parables. That the Ten Commandments can be reduced to two commandments: the great commandment to love the Lord thy God, and the second to love thy neighbor as thy self (Luke 10:27) is one of many gems in the Parables of Jesus, a must-read." --Patrick Reed, Attorney-at-Law
