Publisher's Synopsis
Throughout history, stories have been used to convey the highest and noblest truths. In the parables of Jesus Christ, we find some of the best-known examples of such stories, containing depths of meaning still highly relevant to our time.Originally, Christ told the parables to crowds gathered by the lakeside in Galilee, to his disciples, and even to his opponents the Pharisees and Sadducees. Yet, as Evelyn Capel demonstrates, these parables grow from age to age as human consciousness develops, revealing as little or as much as we are able and ready to hear. The Timeless Storyteller discusses twelve of Christ's parables in a way suitable to our present consciousness.
