The Parables of Jesus; A Verse-by-Verse Commentary by David Dorius Pdf

The Parables of Jesus is a verse-by-verse commentary of Jesus's parables found in the synoptic gospels. Each Bible verse is replicated, making it easier to compare the scriptures to the comments in the commentary without needing the Bible at one's side. In a thorough, well-organized, thought-provoking manner, the book weaves together historical context, linguistic connotations, the wisdom of other scholars, and the author's own compelling observations. The Parables of Jesus answers numerous questions including, why did the foolish virgins lack oil for their lamps at midnight, and what does this imply for those trying to follow the Savior's path today? What does the return of the prodigal son reveal about God's expectant love for the House of Israel and the prospect of hope and healing for each of His children? How can the Ten Commandments be reduced to the two commandments, the great commandment to love the Lord thy God and the second unto it, to love thy neighbor as thyself? This is an excellent reference volume for study and a source to teach the parables of Jesus.

Reading the Parables by Richard Lischer Pdf

Parables make up one-third of Jesus' speech in the New Testament. In this volume, Richard Lischer provides an expert guide to these parables and proposes an important distinction between reading and interpreting the parables. Emphasizing the importance of reading the parables versus interpreting them, Lischer asserts that reading offers a kind of breathing space to explore historical, literary, theological, and socio-political dimensions of the parables and their various meanings, whereas interpreting implies an expert and critical position that must be defended. In this volume, Lischer lays out four theories for reading parables: 1) parables obscure truth; 2) parables teach many truths; 3) parables teach one truth; and 4) parables undermine the truth. Ultimately, he concludes that biblical parables undermine dominant myths called "the truth" to shine light on the Truth that is Jesus, God's presence with us.

Parables Workbook by John F. MacArthur Pdf

Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables He told were ingeniously simple word pictures. Some of them were no more than fleeting remarks about commonplace incidents, objects, or persons. In fact, the most compact of all Jesus' short stories does not even fill a complete verse of Scripture. Yet the all were filled with profound spiritual lessons that He wanted His listeners to hear and understand. Jesus told these parables so they would clearly comprehend His message about the kingdom of God and the reason He had come to earth. In the Parables Workbook, master expositor and Bible commentator John MacArthur draws on his years spent studying and explaining the Word of God to guide readers through some of the most famous and influential short stories that Jesus told. Each session contains the following: Biblical focus: the primary passages on which the session draws Another look: questions to facilitate review of content in the book Biblical connections: questions that focus on the main Bible passage Highlighting the lesson: questions that focus on the central teaching points Lasting implications: questions to help draw out personal conclusions Daily assignments: five sets of questions that reflect on the parable, the point, the purpose, the principles, and the practical application This workbook has been designed to enhance readers' experience of reading the book and is intended both for individual use and for study in a small-group setting.
