Parables of Jesus: Applications for Contemporary Life, Cycle a (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780788011979)

Narrative or story preaching has called attention to Jesus' parables, since many of those parables are stories. Is there a preacher, especially one who uses the lectionary, who does not preach on a parable from time to time? This book conducts an exegesis of scripture, provides context for each passage, suggests contemporary applications with questions that challenge, and gives preachers sample openings for the composition of a sermon/homily.
