From this chronological study of Jesus' principal teaching tool, today's pastors and teachers will learn afresh the types, purposes, and meanings of the parables. While staying true to his motto - 'Since Jesus was never boring, neither should we be' - Dr. Ellisen has covered virtually every parable and given equal attention to its setting, need, central truth, and wider application. An examination of various interpretive methods will clarify the way parables must be approached and applied for modern audiences.
