[David Claiborne]

This is less exposition on the parables and more a screed against Protestantism. While it does contain some insight into Christ's teachings and valuable intensive technique for examining the parables, its actual content is certainly not what the title promises.

An important book! I'm glad Fr. Prachensky wrote it. Worth reading a second time. I also think this could really serve to be an eye-opener for some people, if approached with an open mind and a prayerful heart.
