About this title

Synopsis

The parables of Jesus appear to be simple, and yet they can become difficult for preachers to understand and apply. This book wrestles with the unique challenges of preaching the parables. It provides in-depth and practical tools for studying, interpreting, and applying the parables within the reader's own setting, while remaining true to the intentions of Scripture. Offering a four-step approach, preachers are invited to consider how a parable operates as a picture, then a mirror, then a window, and then a door.

Containing contributions from a diverse group of authors, this book provides rich and varied examples of how to put its teaching into practice. Immensely accessible, it empowers preachers, teachers, and readers to encounter the parables in all their simplicity and depth, as if reading them for the first time.
