The Parables: Biblical, Patristic, and Liturgical Interpretation

Each of the 27 sections of The Parables offers a brief but concise and thoughtful summary of a single parable, examining not only the Gospel texts but the way in which these texts have been interpreted in commentaries by the Fathers and used in the traditional liturgical texts. These simple but rich commentaries will profit any reader in search of guidance through the spiritual and moral ambiguities of the modern world.
