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.
