Synopsis

The parable is the most well-known literary form presented in the gospels. And since narrative or story sermons are such a prominent element in the contemporary pulpit, pastors are preaching on the parable texts more frequently than ever.

Richard Gribble thoroughly examines each of the parables appearing in Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary. Each analysis includes:
• discussion of the theme
• spiritual food for the journey
• application of the parable to contemporary life
• openings for preaching
• points of challenge and questions to ponder
• exegesis and explanation of the parable
• context of the parable

These studies will be a classic resource for preaching... or useful for Bible study and inspiration.

The author of eight books and over 100 articles, Richard Gribble, CSC, is the acting superior at Moreau Seminary at the University of Notre Dame. Father Gribble earned his Ph.D. from The Catholic University of America and has also earned degrees from the United States Naval Academy, the University of Southern California, and the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley.
