The Problem of Jesus: The Parables

“What a mistake to think that it is the task of theology to unravel God’s mystery, to bring it down to the flat, ordinary human wisdom of experience and reason! It is the task of theology solely to preserve God’s wonder…to glorify God’s mystery as mystery” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Stories.

Stories are powerful. They don’t spoon-feed us information or allow us to remain passive observers; they invite us, indeed force us, to become active participants and in so doing they capture the one part of us, nothing else can: our imaginations, which, almost above all else, need capturing and re-orientation when shaping our lives.

Stories penetrate the heart. Stories move beyond reason to your heart – your passions and desires.

The stories of Jesus are His answer to the questions we have as human beings.
