Preaching the Parables

This resource provides a gold mine of background material on each of the fourteen parables in Cycle A. Brauninger brings a fresh, imaginative approach to these familiar texts, probing them to reveal what they tell us about God and reflecting on what these simple stories containing universal truth mean for modern living. Modeled on the format of Brauninger's popular Preaching The Miracles series, each chapter in Preaching The Parables identifies points of action, examines significant terms, and engages in imaginary exchanges with a variety of characters. The complete text of each parable is also included, along with an analysis highlighting similarities and differences in parallel passages.
