Download or read book The Parable of the Prodigal Son written by Barry A. Allen and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parable of the Prodigal Son is one of the greatest stories ever told by Jesus Christ who is the greatest Teacher of all time. We find ourselves in this simple yet profound story, and we find that we may be represented by different persons in the story at different times in our lives. The story reminds us that we all were once prodigals, and some of us may still be, but we can also find ourselves filling the shoes of the loving father when we love and forgive others. And, unfortunately, we can sometimes find ourselves filling the shoes of the elder brother when we self-righteously judge and look down on others. In this brief expository analysis of the Parable, Ordained Minister Rev. Dr. Barry A. Allen takes us through the Parable by discussing five major themes: Rebellion, Repentance, Restoration, Rejection, and Reward. The primary theme of the Parable is the radical and unconditional love the father shows his returning Prodigal Son, and Pastor Allen highlights that this is the way God loves sinners. God doesn't give up on sinners, but "religious people" like the elder brother sometimes do. Pastor Allen encourages us to be "Christian" instead of "religious" and to love sinners the way the father in this Parable loves his son. Then, we adequately represent the love of our Father in a world where prodigal sons and daughters are around every corner. By loving and receiving sinners the way God loves and received us, we Christians give those who have been led astray in this fallen world reasons to believe that God is real, God is near, and God truly loves, forgives, and celebrates their homecoming.
Download or read book The Prodigal Son s Brother written by Valerie J. Russell and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parable of the Prodigal Son is one of the most read and preached parables of our Lord Jesus Christ. This Parable focuses on The Father, His House and His two Sons. We know that the Father was a good man, for the scripture declares a good man leaves and inheritance for his children's children. Many who expound on this passage focus on The Son who prematurely took his inheritances, wasted it on riotous living, lost his "substance" and wound up in the Pig Pen Motel. Perhaps this is why this parable is called the "Parable of The Prodigal Son." Others focus on the Father and his relentless love for his son. The father who released the inheritance to his Son knowing that it was premature, the father who let his son leave without confrontation, the father who knew his son would return and actually ran out to meet him before he got back to the house, and the father who threw an elaborate party for his rebellious but now repentant son.However in this powerful presentation Pastor Valerie Russell focuses on The Prodigals Brother. Her spirit-led insights will captivate you and draw you closer into understanding the heart of God for all of His Children. After reading this book you will understand that God really does not play favorites and there is no need for believers to be envious or jealous of one another. You will learn that whose you are, is more important that who you are and that who you are, is more important that what you have. Finally you will come away with the understanding that because you are in the Father's house everything he has is yours, it always has been and it always will be.
Download or read book Prodigality Liberality and Meanness written by David Holgate and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1999-08-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph interprets the parable of the Prodigal Son (Lk. 15.11-32) in the light of Graeco-Roman popular moral philosophy. Luke's special parables are rarely studied in this way, but the results of this study are very fruitful. The unity of the parable is supported, and it is shown to be deeply concerned with a major Lukan theme: the right use of possessions. The whole parable is read in terms of the moral topos 'on covetousness', and shown to be an endorsement of the Graeco-Roman virtue of liberality, modified by the Christian virtue of compassion.

Download or read book The Prodigal Son in English and American Literature written by Alison M. Jack and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parable of the Prodigal Son is one of the best-known stories in the Bible. It has captured the imagination of commentators, preachers and writers. Alison M. Jack explores the reconfiguring of the character of the Prodigal Son and his family in literature in English. She considers diverse literary periods and genres in which the paradigm is particularly prevalent, such as Elizabethan literature, the work of Shakespeare, the novels of female Victorian writers, the American short story tradition, novels focused on the lives of ordained ministers, and the poetry of Elizabeth Bishop and Iain Crichton Smith. Drawing on scholarship from biblical and literary studies, this study demonstrates the remarkable potency of the parable in generating new, and at times contradictory, meanings in different contexts. Historical and literary criticism are brought into dialogue to explore this remarkably resilient and nimble character as he dances through drama, novels and poetry across the centuries.
