Description
Preaching the Parables: A responsible introduction to understanding and proclaiming the parables that pastors, church leaders, and seminary students will appreciate. Craig Blomberg demonstrates how the structure of a parable is key to its interpretation and thus to its exposition.
The book shows how a parable, when properly contemporized, can be a powerful rhetorical device, revealing important surprises that will be significant to contemporary parishioners. Each of the fifteen exemplary sermons is accompanied by an analysis that points out key interpretive decisions.
