Description

No study of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ is complete without an understanding of the parables he taught.

Most books that cover parables generally cover the better-known ones. They avoid the difficult, challenging, and obscure.

Art Zacher and Doug Peterson break that tradition in this book, covering dozens of the parables spoken by Jesus. When Jesus shared these parables with individuals and groups, He challenged them to live a godly life-and that challenge is still relevant today.

Each parable is set in its historic setting, with previous and following events noted. The authors reveal where Jesus spoke each parable, who His audience was, and what each one means. Each parable is classified with other parables on the same topic for easy reference.
