Robert Farrar Capon has earned a well-deserved reputation as a provocative, insightful, humorous, and highly readable theologian. He communicates the mysteries, nuances, and profundities, of the Christian faith in an inimitable style that is more like a conversation with the reader than a theological lecture. Having written a previous volume on what he calls the parables of the kingdom, Capon here takes up the next series of parables from the Gospel: the generally short stories occurring between the feeding of the five thousand and the triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
