THE PARABLES OF OUR LORD.
INTRODUCTION.
THE PARABLES OF OUR LORD.
THE GROUP IN MATT. XIII.
I. THE SOWER.
II. THE TARES.
THE MUSTARD-SEED, AND THE LEAVEN.
In this thoughtful compilation, age‑old teachings are re‑imagined for today’s listener. The author weaves together the timeless wisdom of Jesus’ parables with a clear, conversational style that acknowledges the depth of the Reformation heritage while urging fresh reflection. Each story is presented not merely as a moral anecdote but as a living illustration of how ancient truths can shape modern choices.
The volume is divided into three concise sections—laws drawn from heaven for everyday life, the roots and fruits that nurture a Christian journey, and a vivid look at the pursuit of wealth and its hidden pitfalls. Helpful illustrations and occasional Greek terms add texture without hindering comprehension, making the work both scholarly and approachable. Listeners will find practical counsel that feels relevant whether they are navigating personal decisions or broader societal challenges.
