PARABLES OF JESUS

Online Course offered by the Leadership Institute

Wednesdays, April 17-May 15, 2024

Five Weekly Class Meetings (via Zoom) from 7:00-8:45 p.m.

Course Description

One of the signature features of Jesus’ teaching was His use of parables to communicate His message. What is a parable? What are the distinctive themes in Jesus’ parables? How does each Gospel focus central themes in its narrative about Jesus through His telling of parables? What do the parables have to say to twenty-first-century listeners?

This five-week course on the parables of Jesus will explore questions such as these, and in so doing, invite participants to deepen their understanding of the Gospels, and to gain fresh insight into the mission and message of Jesus—for both the first and the twenty-first century.

While each participant will receive a course syllabus and will be expected to attend, prepare for, and participate in all class sessions, there will not be any written assignments for this course. Nevertheless, the class is intended to offer the opportunity for deep learning and engaging conversation!
 

The course date is April 17-May 15, 2024. The class meetings will be via Zoom on WEDNESDAYS from 7:00-8:45 p.m. Eastern Time.
