Stiller argues that Jesus' parables, through theirnarrative, personal, and oral dimensions and reversal ofexpectations, provide unique access to Christianity for thosewhose experience and hopes we label "postmodern." Aligning contemporary scholarship with today's culturalassumptions, Stiller offers preachers a working knowledge ofpostmodern sensibilities, an understanding of the parablegenre, an analysis of ten parables, and a sample of how onemight preach them effectively.
Brian C. Stiller is President of Tyndale University College and Seminary, Toronto. As a longtime leader in Canadian Evangelical circles, Stiller headed Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, founded the national magazine Faith Today, and hosted the national television program Cross Currents. He is author of eight other books, including When Life Hurts: A Three-fold Path to Healing, What Happens When I Die? and Jesus and Caesar: Christians in the Public Square.
"However we understand the 'postmodern' era, we are not 'post' the need to pay careful attention to the parables of Jesus. In this excellent study, Brian Stiller provides us with many profound insights about how to apply these stories to the complexities of our contemporary lives. Many congregations will be blessed by preachers and teachers who draw on the wisdom offered in this book!"
