Surprised by the Parables: Growing in Grace Through the Stories of Jesus - Michelle Lee Barnewall

Descriere Surprised by the Parables: Growing in Grace Through the Stories of Jesus - Michelle Lee Barnewall

\n2021 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist for Bible Study \nJesus' parables can't simply be interpreted, they must be experienced. \n \nIn the gospels, Jesus used parables to teach transformative lessons and convey deep spiritual truths about the kingdom of God. But he often used them to confront and challenge his audience as well, forcing them to open or close their hearts to the kingdom. \n \nJesus understood the power of stories, but there are some things lost in translation when we try to interpret those same stories thousands of years removed from their original context. The unexpected twists and surprises in the parables might be missed by a modern audience because they're unfamiliar with the underlying points of reference. \n \nIn Surprised by the Parables, Michelle Lee Barnewall explores the ancient context these parables drew from. These stories of grace reveal many of the mysteries central to God's character, and understanding the ancient world behind them will help us see the parables from a new perspective.\n
