Excerpt from Notes and Illustrations of the Parables of the New Testament Arranged
Tue first edition of this work having been taken up with a rapid sale, the author has been induced to revise and enlarge it, that he might increase its usefulness, and thereby carry into fuller effect the original purpose of its compilation. It has been his main object to attain the true sense and original application of the parables, which has been done, principally, by a careful study of the con text in each case, and by a comparison of the terms and metaphors with the same terms and metaphors as used in other parts Of the Scriptures. He hopes that, by this method, he has been successful in his attempts to develope the proper sense of the Sacred Writings, in those parts embraced in the design Of this work.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the parables told by Jesus Christ in both the gospels of Matthew and Luke. The author juxtaposes the parables alongside Eastern customs and laws, providing a deeper understanding of the cultural context in which Jesus taught. Through a study of parables such as 'The Rich Man and Lazarus' and 'The Good Samaritan', this book examines the ways in which the teachings of Jesus related to the real lives of his listeners. The author suggests that Jesus' parables were intentionally abstract in order to apply to the broadest range of people, and ultimately to transcend time periods and cultures.
