The parables are perhaps the most potent expression of the message of Jesus. Parables were one of his key teaching strategies. But even his inner circle struggled to understand what he was saying. 

 

Today, I’ll be sharing a review of a new book from Dallas Willard on the parables titled The Scandal of the Kingdom.  

 

Through insightful analysis and practical wisdom, Willard empowers readers to transform their lives and communities by embodying the radical love, compassion, and justice exemplified in Jesus's parables. This book is a beacon of hope for Christians seeking to deepen their faith and live more authentically in accordance with the teachings of Christ. Willard empowers us to:

  • Become more passionate about living the gospel in the full scope of Jesus's vision for us
  • Better share the faith of Jesus with those disillusioned with Christianity
  • Unlock the excitement of living in the upside-down kingdom of God
  • Share the gospel of Jesus in the way he did
