Studying the Parables of Jesus is a primer on the historical and literary approaches to biblical study. This book not only gives helpful insights into preaching the parables, but also interacts with the newest scholarship on the subject. The chapters of exegesis approach a select group of parables for a more intensive analysis. While reserving much of the technical details for the endnotes, the text includes discussion of critical issues and alternative opinions. Questions and exercises are appended at the close of each chapter for personal use or classroom discussion.
Peter Rhea Jones has spent the majority of his career studying and teaching the parables of Jesus. He is an adjunct professor at the McAfee School of Theology in Atlanta and senior minister of First Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia.
