Problem Parables, or “parables that have problems built into them,” is a four-lesson course with the late Dr. Stanley Toussaint, senior professor emeritus of Bible Exposition. Dr. Toussaint explores four of Jesus’s parables that are sometimes misunderstood, misused, or just plain confusing. You will walk through each of these parables, examine the Greek terms that enlighten the meaning in English, and make connections with other biblical parables that shed light on these problem passages. No need to get out your lexicon, though! Dr. Toussaint takes us through each passage in detail, making the complex easy for anyone to understand.
If you’re curious, we’ll examine these parables: the Shrewd Servant, the Rich Man and Lazarus, the Good Samaritan, and the Grumbling Workers. Each has a problem. Each has an explanation. But most importantly, each has an application in our lives today to help make us more like Christ.
