The Parables of Our Lord by William Arnot
"The Parables of Our Lord" by William Arnot is a theological exposition written in the late 19th century. This work aims to explore and explain the parables attributed to Jesus Christ, providing insights into their spiritual and moral significance. Arnot emphasizes the importance of understanding these parables as tools for teaching profound truths about the Kingdom of God and human nature. The opening of the book presents an introduction to the study
of parables, discussing the significance of literary form in conveying spiritual truths. Arnot reflects on the parables' unique ability to illustrate complex ideas through relatable, everyday scenarios, thereby making them accessible to all audiences. He likens the sower's actions in the familiar agricultural context to the sharing of divine truth, inviting readers to consider their hearts—represented by different types of soil—as the receptacles for God's word. Arnot's writing suggests a strong focus on introspection and the necessity of self-examination when engaging with the lessons imparted through these parables.
