McFadyen The Message of the Parables

THE MESSAGE OF THE PARABLES
by Joseph Ferguson McFadyen, M.A. D.D.

This is another standard work on the NT parables. Note that this work is seen from a “teacher’s view point” with the first three chapters on Jesus’ use of parables as a teaching method, and another chapter on the parable as an allegory, another on interpretation of parables.
