The Parables of Jesus

by Tim Ware

Overview

"The Parables of Jesus" is the first offering in the new series "Bible Study That Matters." This series was developed especially for those who are dissatisfied with the type of Bible study normally found in Sunday Schools, Bible study groups, and devotional guides. It's for those who want more than a few feel-good platitudes and want to dive in to the biblical text and see what's really there. Written in a clear, conversational style, "The Parables of Jesus" gives a close-up view of the major parables of Jesus. Helps you explore the parables and examine them from various angles. Common sense analysis encourages you to think and ponder. Explains and illustrates essential tools that will aid you not only in your study of parables, but in your study of the entire Bible. Focuses on what the Bible actually says, and what it does not say. This study does not spoon-feed you other peoples' opinions. It helps you ask the hard questions and consider the hard issues so that you can develop your own interpretations. If you want to understand the parables, instead of just read about them, then this study's for you.

About the Author

Tim Ware has been active in churches of various denominations for 40 years. He graduated from seminary with a Master of Divinity degree in 2011. Having become dissatisfied within denominational confines and more than a little disillusioned with the institutional church, God called him to withdraw from the institutional church and pursue an independent ministry. He founded and pastors The Chapel of Christ in Shelby, North Carolina, a non-affiliated alternative to the institutional church. Noticing the scarcity of genuine and worthwhile Bible study resources for the general public, he decided to offer the "Bible Study That Matters" series. He lives with his wife on a 5th generation family farm in western North Carolina where he raises blueberries, vegetables, and tobacco.
