The Power of Transformation

Re-Imagining the Parables of Jesus
  • By N. Élida Naveros Córdova
$27.99
($29.95)
Product Description

The parables of Jesus still speak powerfully to us today. By employing ancient Greek virtue ethics and the rhetorical techniques of the progymnasmata--preliminary exercises for prose composition--this fresh literary approach elucidates the vivid language and the virtues reflected in selected parables of Jesus. Throughout this book, readers will encounter Jesus in a new way as his parables lead us to experience true happiness through the practice of virtues.

Endorsements

"This book clearly provides rhetorical techniques to advance human knowledge while unlocking new meanings, drawing subsequent ethical implications, and grasping the transformative power of the parables and the historical Jesus."
--Jean-Claude Loba Mkole, United Bible Societies, Nairobi-Kenya, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein-South Africa

"Bringing traditional parable scholarship together with classical Greek conceptions of virtue and vice, Sr. Naveros Córdova shows how the Gospel writers draw us into the good life of God's kingdom. A welcome addition, offering rich, new insights."
--Gary S. Selby, Emmanuel Christian Seminary at Milligan; author of Not with Wisdom of Words: Nonrational Persuasion in the New Testament
