The challenge of Jesus' parables

---

"The Parables recorded in the Gospels are central to an understanding of Jesus and his ministry, and their teachings form, in large part, the heart of the Christian gospel. Though commonly assumed to be simple, easily understood stories, the parables actually present a number of complex challenges to modern readers hoping to fully grasp their meaning. In this book thirteen first-rate New Testament scholars clear the way to the proper meaning and application of the parables by presenting Jesus' teachings in their original context. Providing a more responsible treatment of the parables than they usually receive in scholarly writings or the popular press, this volume will challenge anew those seeking to live more genuine lives as followers of Jesus."--Jacket.
