"I love the way that this book, The Parables of Jesus, helps me to really understand the powerful teachings that Jesus desires to imprint upon our hearts and minds. Mr. Dorius masterfully weaves together, verse by verse, a tapestry of knowledge gleaned from an understanding of the setting in which each parable was given, commentary from multiple scholarly sources, relevant passages found elsewhere in the Bible that reinforce the concepts being taught, in addition to his own valuable insights. I am a better disciple of Christ because of this book." --Steven L. Dixon, MD "In this perceptive, phrase-by-phrase exposition of Christ's parables, Dorius thoughtfully weaves together historical context, linguistic connotations, the wisdom of other scholars, and his own compelling observations. A thorough, well-organized, thought-provoking work. Why did the foolish virgins lack oil for their lamps at midnight, and what does this imply for those of us trying to follow the Savior's path today? What does the return of the prodigal son reveal about God's expectant love for the House of Israel and the prospect of hope and healing for you, me, and each of His children? I will keep this volume on my shelf and refer to it each time I study or teach the parables of Christ." --Quinn Bastian, PhD "What an engaging commentary, it is replete with important insights into the Master teacher's parables. That the Ten Commandments can be reduced to two commandments: the great commandment to love the Lord thy God, and the second to love thy neighbor as thy self (Luke 10:27) is one of many gems in the Parables of Jesus, a must-read." --Patrick Reed, Attorney-at-Law
