Parables of Jesus

Cosmo G. Lang

Lang's study of Jesus's use of parables in His teaching, explaining how these stories were suited to His oriental audience, arrested attention, aroused thought, and preserved truth. He argues that the parables remain unrivaled in literature and bear the mark of unique genius.
