Parables: Putting Jesus's Stories in Their Place

By Josh Scott

Book Overview

Read the stories of Jesus in a new light. When Jesus taught in parables, he was doing more than telling simple morality tales. His stories were grounded in the world in which he lived and his vision of the Kingdom of God. This book explores six parables that give us a window into Jesus's message and movement, and, once they are heard in their own context, ask what they might mean for us today. Parables include: the New Wine and Wineskins, the Mustard Seed, the Leaven, the Wedding Party, the Workers in the Vineyard, and the Wicked Tenants. Other components for the study include a leader guide and teaching video are available.
