Jesus' parables speak in bold images of the kingdom of God, making it present to us as they reveal something of the mystery of his own person. \u003cp\u003eLohfink also offers a review of some of the scholarship in this area--as this topic has sustained research on Jesus since the first telling of these stories--but not for the purposes of debate. His reflections interpret the forty parables and show how they speak of the coming of the reign of God, lead us to Jesus, and reveal the mystery of Jesus himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerhard Lohfink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814685102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814685105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liturgical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.36w x 0.98d","brand":"Gerhard Lohfink","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44055313547519,"sku":"9780814685105","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c781bcaa-24d6-4090-8820-cd02073a45b5.jpg?v=1685035069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-forty-parables-of-jesus-gerhard-lohfink-9780814685105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
