This article reflects on Jesus' teaching about his parables in Matthew 13:10-17. It confirms that the purpose of his parables was to reveal and conceal truth.

In Luke 15 we find three parables. This article explores the relation of the parable of the lost son to the immediately following parable about the unjust steward.

This article considers ways in which the parables of the Lord Jesus should and should not be read.

How should parables be interpreted? Is there only one single meaning? It is the contention of this essay that the church has misunderstood the meaning of the parable on prayer found in Luke 11:5-8. The interpretation hinges on the translation of the Greek word "anaideia."

In the Old and New Testament daily events were used as parables to teach spiritual truth. This article encourages Christians to continue in this line of passing the truth of scripture from one generation to another.
