The Parabolic Teaching of Christ: A Systematic and Critical Study of the Parables of our Lord

Alexander Balmain Bruce

Published by Hodder And Stoughton, 1891

This book is from the library of Calvin Thielman, pastor for over thirty years to Billy Graham and his family.Bruce provides a systematic classification and critical exposition of Jesus' parables, emphasizing their didactic (teaching) purpose rather than purely devotional or homiletical uses. He avoids heavy allegorizing (common in patristic interpretations, e.g., by Trench) and favors a historical-grammatical method, drawing on modern scholarship, the Revised Version, and Westcott-Hort's Greek text. He groups the parables by their thematic and functional affinities to illuminate their meaning through comparison, rather than treating them in Gospel order or isolation.Burgundy cloth binding with gilt title on the spine. xvi + 515pp.CONDITION: Covers have mild rubbing and moderate edge wear.
