About this title

Synopsis

"Lessons On The Parables Of The Saviour: For Sunday Schools And Families" by Frederic Dan Huntington. This teacher's manual explains Jesus' parables to children and young learners, combining a clear, devotional tone with practical classroom guidance. The volume includes prefatory notes, Directions for teachers, and a full sequence of lessons that pair parables with questions, paraphrases, and suggested activities, all designed to make biblical teachings concrete for Sunday schools and family instruction. It emphasizes core Christian virtues—repentance, trust, purity, humility, mercy, justice, and self-control—and invites pupils to connect parables to daily life, family routines, and their own consciences. Organized according to a Harmony-based order of the Gospel accounts, the book covers parables from the Sermon on the Mount onward (e.g., the Diseased Eye, the Birds and the Lilies, the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, and the Lost Sheep), and repeatedly stresses applying spiritual lessons to present duties. Written in the mid-19th century in Boston, it reflects a strong missionary impulse to educate youth in Gospel truth through simple language and questions for reflection.
