Excerpt from The Saviour of the World: Sermons Preached in the Chapel of Princeton Theological Seminary
I wish to speak to you to-day Of the parable of the prodigal son, or, as it is becoming very common to call it, perhaps with greater exactness, the parable Of the lost son. I shall not read it to you again. It has already been read in the lesson for the day. And in any event it is too familiar to require that you should be reminded even Of the minuter details of the narra tive. Probably no passage Of the Scriptures is more widely known or more universally admired. The conversation and literature Of devotion are full Of allusions to it. And in the conversation and literature Of the world it has far from an unhonoured place.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the parable of the prodigal son from the Gospel of Luke, examining its rich theological implications and enduring relevance. The author argues that the parable should not be seen as a complete exposition of the gospel, but as a lens through which we can glimpse a fundamental truth: that God's love extends to all sinners, no matter how far they have strayed. The author delves into the historical and literary context of the parable, demonstrating its deep connection to the broader themes of the Gospel, and expounding on the complex relationship between God, humanity, and sin. Ultimately, this book offers a profound reflection on the nature of love, forgiveness, and the boundless grace of God, inviting readers to reconsider the transformative power of divine redemption and the transformative potential of human repentance.
