21st Century Parables: The Gospel is Not Strange

About the Book This book came out of a desire to make sense of certain concepts of the gospel by relating them to ideas that one can readily perceive in everyday life experiences. It deals with certain concepts of the gospel that find their imperfect parallels in social, political and historical events and ideas. Even though these ideas may not perfectly or wholly represent the teachings of scripture which the author uses them to explain they surely lead the reader on to a simple understanding of these themes of the gospel. This is following after the example of Jesus who employed parables in order to pass His message across to the people. The purpose of the book is that the reader may come away with the thought that truly, the Gospel is not strange.
