The Parables

by Lyman Abbott

The Parables of Jesus Christ, retold and interpreted for the modern reader. Lyman Abbott's The Parables is a collection of the parables of Jesus Christ, retold and interpreted for the modern reader. Abbott was a leading figure in the Social Gospel movement, and he believed that the parables could be used to promote social justice and religious tolerance. The book begins with an introduction to the parables, in which Abbott discusses their origins, their meaning, and their relevance to the modern world. He then goes on to retell each parable in a clear and concise way. After each parable, Abbott provides an interpretation, drawing out its meaning and its implications for the modern reader. The Parables is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to understand the parables of Jesus Christ. It is also a thought-provoking book that can help readers to apply the lessons of the parables to their own lives.
