Researchers from various disciplines in the humanities have joined Scripture scholars and theologians in examining these unique stories of Jesus. Much energy has been spent in exploring and defending particular points of view about the parables. Yet all too often the central questions about a particular parable--\"What is the parable saying? How do I respond to this story?\"--Have been ignored in the process. [This book] is a guide to help readers respond to these questions. Each chapter of [this book] introduces issues in the current discussion of the parables and teachings of Jesus. It then goes on to readings of specific parables which present various directions in which an interpretation might lead. Also included in each chapter are study questions. The format and content of [this book] make it suitable for use by an individual, in the classroom, or as part of an adult education program.\"--Back cover.\n\nPublished in: New York, N.Y.\n\nPhysical description: 224 pages ; 21 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"His kingdom come : an integrated approach to discipling the nations and fulfilling the great commission \/ edited by Jim Stier, Richlyn Poor, and Lisa Orvis.","author":"Stier, J.; Poor, R.; Orvis, L.","isbn":"9781576584354","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"YWAM Pub."},"datePublished":"2008","inLanguage":"English","description":"Introduction -- Finding your place in the great commission \/ Jim Stier -- What the Bible says -- The Old Testament template for discipling nations \/ Landa Cope -- The New Testament basis for the discipling of nations \/ David Joel Hamilton -- Case study : second thoughts on galactic domination \/ Don Grattus -- History of discipling nations -- From Rome to Reformation \/ Todd M.
