A Deep Dive into Jesus’ Parables: Inviting Reflection and Transformation
Jesus’ parables took everyday scenes and turned them into profound spiritual lessons—challenging assumptions, overturning conventions, and revealing God’s kingdom in unexpected ways. A desperate widow became a model of persistent prayer. A wayward son’s return illustrated divine grace. A scorned Samaritan redefined neighborly love. Yet without careful attention, we risk overlooking the layers of meaning—and timely relevance—hidden within these stories.
Blending scholarly research with theological, pastoral, and practical wisdom, Douglas Webster walks readers through each of Jesus’ parables, uncovering subtle insights that invite both understanding and personal change. Each chapter includes reflection questions for individual or group study, while a special appendix offers pastors guidance for preaching the parables. Whether you’re a teacher, student, or ministry leader, this exploration of Jesus’ storytelling will nourish both intellect and spirit.
