Short description

This is a review of some of the parables of Jesus within the historical context of His times, correcting some common misunderstandings.

Extended description

Common understandings of Jesus' parables often go astray because they are read from a modern Western perspective. It's too easy to miss the real import of what Jesus had to say unless we take the time to delve into the historical context. More importantly, we must approach them from the Hebrew intellectual approach. Not only is this Hebraic approach seldom understood by people today, it was no longer the approach used by the Jewish leaders of Jesus' day. This volume seeks to offer a corrective understanding of some of the parables recorded in the Gospels.

Review by: Jason King on Nov. 27, 2012 :
I like this guy! His writing style is very casual, straight to the point and honest. Makes me feel I am sitting down with him having a discussion on the subject matter.

I do suspect that this and his other books are compilations of study or lecture notes but that is fine because it is ideal for those who really want to study the bible and not just feel good motivation stuff that so many christian authors present (and make good money from).
