Ep. 104 Luke 16: Literal or Parable?

from Crossroads of Culture and Christianity · host Jacob Jellison and Dr. Aaron Hough

Text Us! Was Jesus telling a parable—or giving us a glimpse into eternity? In Luke 16, the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus has stirred debate among scholars for quite some time. Some see it as a vivid illustration of hell’s reality, others as a true account of a man crying out from the flames. In this episode, we dig into the context, propose the view that seems to make the most sense to us, and draw out the timeless truths Jesus wanted us to see: the finality of judgment, the urgency of repentance, and the hope found in God’s Word.
