The Parables of Jesus
I taught the following course at First Presbyterian Church during their evening educational program called Getting Together Wednesdays (GTW) during November of 2004. This course covered the parables of Jesus in the four Gospels. However, what is covered in this course is not just limited to the traditional spoken parables.
Week 1 focused on the four gospels and their differences and similiarities. In each of the four gospels, I focused on parables that were unique to each gospel and in general, ones that are not normally focused on (including what I called enacted pararbles - actions of Jesus that serve as parables - ways of communicating deeper truth).
Week 2 - The Parables of the Gospel of Matthew
Week 3 - The Parables of the Gospel of Mark
Week 4 - The Parables of the Gosepl of John
Week 5 - The Parables of the Surprising Kingdom of God in the Gospel of Luke
