Description: "How does the parable of the good Samaritan redefine acts of social justice not just acts of mercy? What does the story of the five talents teach us about daily spiritual life? How might the unmerciful servant have justified his behavior and why does it matter to us? Fresh Eyes on Jesus' Parables offers a new perspective on Jesus' stories to His disciples. Doug Newton provides life-changing techniques for reading Scripture, such as skills in interpreting one passage using another. Reading with fresh eyes about the lost son, the hidden treasure, the shrewd manager, and more will show you how relevant Jesus' stories are to your life today"--Page [4] of cover.
