The Parables of Jesus – A New Book By
Rev Howard Long
Limited Edition printed by Gwasg Dinefwr Press.
Price £9.95
P&P £1.95 UK
One third of Jesus’ recorded teaching in the New Testament
is in parables. They were his chosen method to communicate the great
truths of the Kingdom of God.
Simple stories of farmers, shepherds, vineyard workers, servants
and rich merchants have spoken to generations throughout history
as have tales about fishing, wine, banquets, mustard seeds and hidden
treasure. The parables hold such fascination for people today not
only because they are great stories but because of the one who told
them. Discovering the message behind the story is one thing, discovering
the nature of the storyteller and what it means for our lives is
quite another.
This book begins by looking at Jesus and the message of the Kingdom
of God. It looks at each parable not only in its original historical
context but also helps us see how Jesus Christ’s words speak
to us today.
Howard Long is a Methodist Minister in the Swansea and Gower Circuit
