Synopsis
The parables of Jesus still speak powerfully to us today. By employing ancient Greek virtue ethics and the rhetorical techniques of the progymnasmata―preliminary exercises for prose composition―this fresh literary approach elucidates the vivid language and the virtues reflected in selected parables of Jesus. Throughout this book, readers will encounter Jesus in a new way as his parables lead us to experience true happiness through the practice of virtues.
Endorsements

"Bringing traditional parable scholarship together with classical Greek conceptions of virtue and vice, Sr. Naveros Córdova shows how the Gospel writers draw us into the good life of God's kingdom. A welcome addition, offering rich, new insights."
