[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this little book on the preaching of parables. There are not a lot of GOOD books out there on preaching the parables, so I appreciated this one. Eugene Lowry is of course a veteran preacher whose wisdom can be trusted.

This book presents the best hermeneutic for interpreting parables that I've ever read.
