The parables form a substantial and living part of our Saviour’s public ministry. All of Christ’s two dozen or so parables are treated here, including “The Sower,” “The Good Samaritan,” “The Prodigal Son” and “The Rich Man and Lazarus,” as well as less familiar, but no less fascinating ones, such as “The Unforgiving Servant” and “The Unjust Steward.” With simple and familiar earthly pictures, Jesus tells us what the kingdom of heaven is like and what is the calling and practical life of its citizens. The Mysteries of the Kingdom helps unlock the meaning of the parables, and Prof. Hanko’s distinctively Reformed interpretation makes this a “pearl of great price” for any Bible student.
A Scripture index is included.
“The author takes each parable and by careful exegesis opens up its rich seam of spiritual instruction, and gives a faithful and solidly Reformed interpretation. He shows us gospel mysteries of immense beauty, power, encouragement, practical relevance, and everlasting worth for citizens of a kingdom that is not of this world” (The Reformed Witness).
“We trust that the book will be given a wide circulation. May it be a useful instrument as God’s kingdom is extended in our world through the power of His Word and Spirit” (Banner).
“I am half way through Prof. Hanko’s exposition of the kingdom parables. I am encouraged and blessed.” – England
“Many thanks for the book, Mysteries of the Kingdom. I gave my other one to our own pastor who thinks it is excellent.” – S. Wales
