Let's study the Parables - Overview and General comments

[NotWorthy]

I’ve been anxious to start these threads for quite some time. I’m interested in doing a study on these forums of the parables. I’d like to study each parable individually looking at:

a) What is the Message behind the Parable?
b) What doctrines do we see being taught in each Parable?
c) Can a Parable be used to defend against Non-Catholic doctrines?

I’m breaking up our study into three groups:

1. In this particular thread, I’d like to discuss Parables in general.
2. There will be a thread which I’ll use as a Table of Contents for the Parable threads.
3. There will be a thread for each Parable discussed.

I hope you enjoy this study and I’m looking forward to your participation.

In this thread, I’d like to list the Threads addresses - to be used as a Table of Contents.

I’d like any comments to be posted on the other threads listed. If you wish, you can PM me with suggestions.

The Table of Contents can be found Here.

I’ll include my first parable to study later this evening.

Good idea!

Here’s a link to what the Old Catholic Encyclopedia says about parables:

Parables

The article actually gives little paragraph commentaries on many of the parables as well, so it should be a good source to return to for each parable thread.
