Interprets the nature of Christianity in Celtic Britain and Ireland from the 5th to the 10th cent., based on written and visual evidence- images of Christ in manuscripts, metalwork and sculpture.

Heritage Edition—Over 100 illustrations of a century ago. Unabridged, original text consisting of inspiring and profound lessons from the stories and parables which Jesus told. Christ the Great Teacher gave much of His instruction as He walked with His disciples through the hills and valleys of Palestine or rested by the lake or river. In His parable teaching He linked divine truth with common things and incidents, as may be found in the experiences of the shepherd, the builder, the tiller of the soil, the traveler, and the homemaker. Familiar objects were associated with thoughts true and beautiful—thoughts of God’s loving interest in us, of the grateful homage that is His due, and of the care we should have one for another. Thus lessons of divine wisdom and practical truth were made forcible and impressive. The Scripture says, “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; . . . that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” Matt. 13:34, 35. Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ’s parables are links in the chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven. In this volume the parables are grouped according to their subjects, and their lessons are developed and illustrated. The book is full of gems of truth, and to many readers it will give a richer meaning to the common surroundings of everyday life.

In this age, when the study of nature is receiving so much attention, the teachings of Christ from the things of nature form an interesting addition to the bibliography. Both young and old will find pleasure and profit in reading this comment upon Christ's Parable's. Among the lessons are: Chapter 1—Teaching in Parables Chapter 2—"The Sower Went Forth to Sow" Chapter 3—"First the Blade, Then the Ear" Chapter 4—Tares Chapter 5—"Like a Grain of Mustard Seed" Chapter 6—Other Lessons from Seed-Sowing Chapter 7—Like Unto Leaven Chapter 8—Hidden Treasure Chapter 9—The Pearl Chapter 10—The Net Chapter 11—Things New and Old ... and many more ...
