Eternal and heavenly truths are taught by means of these vivid  everyday stories that appeal to everyone. The parables of Jesus Christ have long challenged expositors  for in their simple form profound truths have been revealed. But the very simplicity of the parable form can be deceptive snare to interpreters. Instead of considering the context in which the parables arose and the background against which they were spoken  many have pressed the parables to teach viewpoints that were in their minds as interpreters but that did not originate in the text itself. In THE PARABLES OF JESUS  J. Dwight Pentecost takes a balanced  sane  and systematic approach. He describes the setting of each parable  that is  the context in which it is spoken and the background against which it was delivered. Pentecost then explains the problem or question each parable addresses and the solution it contains. Since the parables were primarily designed to instruct  emphasis is placed on the teaching rather than on the application. Here is J. Dwight Pentecost  expositor and teacher  at his best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45788437217333,"sku":"ByrdShop_0310309611","price":64.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780310309611.jpg?v=1784645411","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/parables-of-jesus-9780310309611","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
