Item description for Parables in the Eye of the Storm: Christ's Response in the Face of Conflict by Stanley A. Ellisen, & Daniel T. Lioy...
Overview
Comprising one-third of all His teachings, parables formed the primary means of Jesus' communication with the crowds. The Master Teacher carefully crafted these stories to confuse His opponents, confront the uncommitted, and coach His followers. As Stanley Ellisen observes, "The Lord delights to play "hide and seek' with His truths-allowing us the joy of discovery." Understanding Jesus' parables is key to grasping the core of His life-transforming message, and critical to our understanding of Christ's parables is their context of confrontation and opposition. From this chronological study of Jesus' principal teaching tool, today's pastors and teachers will learn afresh the types, purposes, and meanings of the parables. While staying true to his motto-"Since Jesus was never boring, neither should we be"-Dr. Ellisen has covered virtually every parable and given equal attention to its setting, need, central truth, and wider application. An examination of various interpretive methods will clarify the way parables must be approached and applied for modern audiences.

Reviews - What do customers think about Parables in the Eye of the Storm: Christ's Response in the Face of Conflict?
 | A chronological study of Jesus' parables Sep 12, 2001 |
| A parable is a fictitious but true-to-life story designed to teach a specific spiritual, philosophical, or life lesson. Parables comprised about one-third of all of the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. Jesus crafted his stories to confuse His opponents, confront the uncommitted, and teach his followers. Understanding Jesus' parables is essential to the revelation of His life-transforming message. Ideally suited for contemporary students of the New Testament, Parables In The Eye Of The Storm specifically addresses this necessity with a chronological study of Jesus' parables and is a highly recommended addition to personal reading lists. | | | Write your own review about Parables in the Eye of the Storm: Christ's Response in the Face of Conflict
