Kingdom, Grace, Judgment
Kingdom, Grace, Judgment: Paradox, Outrage, and Vindication in the Parables of Jesus | Robert Farrar Capon
1 post | 1 read
Here in one volume is Robert Farrar Capon's widely praised trilogy on Jesus' parables The Parables of the Kingdom, The Parables of Grace, and The Parables of Judgment. These studies offer a fresh, adventurous look at all of Jesus' parables, treated according to their major themes. With the same authorial flair and daring insight that have earned him a wide readership, Capon admirably bridges the gap between the biblical world and our own, making clear both the original meaning of the parables and their continuing relevance today.

Kingdom, Grace, Judgment, by Robert Farrar Capon (2002)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: An omnibus edition of the author‘s engaging reflections on the parables of Jesus.

Review: In hindsight I wish I‘d reviewed the three volumes that went into this omnibus edition separately, as each book has its own personality. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday For me the most successful was the first volume, on the Parables of the Kingdom; the other two were also excellent, but I found he relied more and more as time went on on colloquial retellings, with less of the insightful analysis I loved in the first volume. Overall, though, this is hard to beat for a one-volume collection of essays on the parables. 1w
