Kingdom, Grace, Judgment: Paradox, Outrage, and Vindication in the Parables of Jesus

Copertina anteriore
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 11 mar 2002 - 522 pagine
Here in one volume is Robert Farrar Capon's widely praised trilogy on Jesus' parables The Parables of the Kingdom, The Parables of Grace, and The Parables of Judgment. These studies offer a fresh, adventurous look at all of Jesus' parables, treated according to their major themes. With the same authorial flair and daring insight that have earned him a wide readership, Capon admirably bridges the gap between the biblical world and our own, making clear both the original meaning of the parables and their continuing relevance today.
