Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Parables of Our Lord: The Parables Recorded by St. Matthew
What will this sower of words say? Some out of hatred, seeking occasion against Him; but all thinking themselves entitled to hold and express an Opinion regarding the importance or worth lessness of what He said. They needed to have their critical faculty exercised upon themselves, and to be reminded that in order to benefit by what He had to say, they must bring certain capacities. The parabolic form of teaching is pleasant to listen to; it is easily retained in the memory; it stimulates thought, each man being left to find an interpretation for himself; and it avoids the offensiveness of direct rebuke. To the crowd Jesus speaks only of the sower in the fields, and makes no explicit reference to Him self or to them.
