Parables (The Bible in Its Context - Part 19)

from Maranatha Teachings · host Nikolas Larum

Parables are a unique genre in the Bible and particularly in the Gospels. In this episode, we examine the history of their interpretation, how Jesus used them, and the surprising characteristics story parables share with well-told jokes. While the surprise ending in jokes are tailored to make us laugh, parables are intended to make us respond to the King's invitation into His kingdom.
