The parables of Jesus are among the best known yet least understood portions of Scripture. This superb work explores all 38 parables of Jesus found in the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of Thomas, providing a fresh translation of each text, essential background information on the biblical world of the parables, and in-depth commentary that explains their meanings for today's readers.
