About the Book

Examples of parables taken from the OT and NT are shown first in Greek and then in English to show how the parables were constructed into their literary form. They are then shown in English so that the readers can use the literary form to teach them the meaning of each of the parables. The author then shows how the inspired writers of the Luke gospel revealed the literary form in which the whole OT and NT was written. He called this terribly important literary form, a parableStory. Examples of the parableStories are now shown first in Greek and then in English. Every entire Scripture text is a string of parableStories, where each parableStory gives meaning to the one that precedes it and prepares the reader for the one that follows it. When a parable was reconstructed into its literary form, it told two complementary stories throughout that parable. The literary form of the string of parableStories requires two complementary stories being told throughout an entire text. Examples of parableStories are shown primarily from the original John Gospel and the additions that were later made to it. You will come to understand, using the literary form, the intended meaning of the parableStories and the many metaphors present within them, for example the ichthus and the opsarion--the fish to be consumed along with the bread.
