Luke xv. 11-32 :A nd he said, A certain man had two sons :and the younger of them said to his father. Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country ;and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the parable of the prodigal son from the Gospel of Luke, examining its rich theological implications and enduring relevance. The author argues that the parable should not be seen as a complete exposition of the gospel, but as a lens through which we can glimpse a fundamental truth: that God's love extends to all sinners, no matter how far they have strayed. The author delves into the historical and literary context of the parable, demonstrating its deep connection to the broader themes of the Gospel, and expounding on the complex relationship between God, humanity, and sin. Ultimately, this book offers a profound reflection on the nature of love, forgiveness, and the boundless grace of God, inviting readers to reconsider the transformative power of divine redemption and the transformative potential of human repentance.
