9780687740413: Parables From the Back Side Volume 2

Synopsis

In this follow-up to his well-known book Parables from the Back Side, author J. Ellsworth Kalas again presents new insight into twelve of Jesus’ parables by entering them through the “back side”: through a unique starting point, a creative retelling, a new “lens,” or the eyes of a minor character. Kalas’s creative approach both clarifies basic teachings and introduces new possibilities of meaning, even for those who are most familiar with the parables. Enriched with contemporary illustrations and personal experiences, this volume will provide new perspectives on these stories from Jesus.
