An Exposition of the Parables, Vol. 1 of 5 (Classic Reprint): And of Other Parts of the Gospels: And of Other Parts of the Gospels (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
This book sets out to elucidate the meaning of the parables found in the New Testament, a key component of Jesus Christ's teachings. These parables use vivid storytelling to illustrate valuable lessons about Christian faith. The author takes a unique approach by classifying the parables into two types: those that were explained by Jesus at the time of their telling, and those that were left open to interpretation. This distinction allows for a deeper understanding of Jesus's intentions when delivering these parables. The author examines each group in detail, exploring their significance and the insights they provide into Christian living. The book concludes with a valuable discussion on the relevance of these parables in the contemporary world, emphasizing their timeless wisdom and their ability to continue providing guidance and inspiration for generations to come.

Excerpt from An Exposition of the Parables, Vol. 1 of 5: And of Other Parts of the Gospels
To enter at large into a statement of the reasons which induced him to embark upon the present undertaking, would both occupy too much of the reader's time, and pro bably be a very uninteresting detail to any but the author himself. It is enough to observe, that if those views, re specting the distinction of kinds in the parables, and the corresponding distinction in the uses and purposes to which these kinds were respectively designed to be subservient, which he has laboured to establish in his General Introduc tion, are admitted to be just and reasonable; he feels as sured that he shall stand acquitted of the charge of pre sumption, or of obtruding an unnecessary work upon the religious world, in the composition and publication of anew Exposition of the Parables, according to the principles which he has laid down.
To what portions of the gospel-narrative, the author considers the name of Parables properly to belong, will appear from the list of such as he proposed to explain, given in the first chapter of his General Introduction. The three volumes which are at present published, bring down this Exposition to the seventeenth in that list, the pa rable of the prodigal son. The remaining ten parables, are reserved for explanation in the two concluding volumes.

Excerpt from An Exposition of the Parables, Vol. 1 of 5: And of Other Parts of the Gospels
So many excellent works upon the parables in general, and so many admirable discourses in explanation of particular parables, are already before the religious world, that no part of the New Testament would seem to stand less in need of further elucidation. The peculiarly interesting character of the parabolic mode of teaching - the simplicity, pathos, and elegance of these narratives - the valuable uses to which they are practically subservient- the isolated position of each of the number, which makes its introduction into the body of the gospel - history, a kind of episode in the sacred text, whence it is easy to detach it, for the purpose of commenting upon it, illustrating, and explaining it by itself: these, and other considerations which might readily be suggested to account for the fact, have naturally contributed to direct the attention of expositors and readers, perhaps more exclusively to the parables, than to any part of the gospels besides.
Under these circumstances, the author of the following work, cannot but feel that some apology will be expected from him, for venturing to lay before the religious public, a new attempt at an Exposition of the Parables; which, at first sight, would seem either needlessly to go over ground again which has already been fully explored, or virtually to call in question the sufficiency of former works of the same description.
