The Parables of Jesus

by Stephen J. Binz

The parables of Jesus are designed to shake us up, to shock, confront, provoke, and indict us. Each parable works differently, and each must be studied separately to determine its significance, how it functions, and how it calls its readers to respond. Explore a variety of parables in this new Threshold Bible Study offering - each empowering us to think, teach, and act like Jesus did, to accept his new vision of the world, and to participate wholeheartedly in the new life he offers.
