Using the best of current biblical scholarship, Dr. Robert Winterhalter invites his readers to reexamine the parables of Jesus in the light of our inner search and the many surprising insights found in the remarkable collection of early Christian Gnostic manuscripts discovered at Nag Hammadi. This important work brings refreshing insights of the early years of the Christian faith by taking into account their historical, literature, and symbolic dimensions. In Jesus' Parables: Finding Our God Within, the affirmations and inspirations in each parable add fresh insights, because our understanding of God deepens as we move beyond old boundaries of thought. The parables become a window into the mind of Christ and as we grow more open-minded we feel the warmth of a healthy-minded spirituality and the release of a greater harmony in our everyday life.
