<br> This is a timely, scholarly and thoroughly helpful little book. Dr Hunter remindsus that the Parables comprise one third of all over Lord 's recorded words. Therefore, how important that we should study them carefully and preach about them! This book, written in a fresh, lively, engaging style, should prove of considerable value to those who have the task of preaching. Here is the fruit of much scholarship put across in a manner that is at the same time attractive and thought-provoking.
