The Parable Play in Luke's Gospel

Like the other synoptic gospels (Matthew and Mark), Luke features several parables. Parables were a preferred method of teaching for Jesus. Through reflections offered by some individuals, we will explore the way the parables play a significant role in the teaching ministry of Jesus. These parables may highlight (but are not limited) to the shortsightedness of disciples, the importance of embracing sinners or the urgency of doing good and following God.
