Scandal of the Kingdom: How the Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God
Carefully crafted, previously unpublished materials from Dallas Willard comprise The Scandal of the Kingdom, a powerful exploration of Jesus's parables that unlocks ways to increase our faith and live every day more fully in the radical and surprising love of God and his kingdom.
What does it mean to truly live in the kingdom of God in our day-to-day lives? Discover the wisdom and wonder of the parables of Jesus as they unlock secrets of our faith and reveal the nature and availability of God's kingdom here on earth.
The parables are some of Jesus's best-known teachings, but they are also some of the least understood. Even the disciples weren't always sure what they meant. This book of powerful and carefully curated new material from the late author Dallas Willard helps us understand the heart of Jesus's kingdom-focused parables, why Jesus chose story to communicate life's deepest truths, and how these stories told over two thousand years ago are still revolutionary and even shocking in showing us how to live out of the abundance of God's kingdom on earth today.
With the rich insights and biblical scholarship common to all of Willard's works, The Scandal of the Kingdom helps us:
Become more passionate about living the gospel in the full scope of Jesus's vision for us
Better share the faith of Jesus with those disillusioned with Christianity
Unlock the excitement of living in the upside-down kingdom of God
The Scandal of the Kingdom is for anyone who:
Wants to understand Jesus's teachings but is confused about what his parables mean
Loves Dallas Willard's classic works such as The Divine Conspiracy and Life Without Lack
Enjoys deep teachings about spiritual formation from authors such as John Mark Comer, Richard Foster, and Eugene Peterson
Wants to share the gospel of Jesus in the way he did
Our need for us to contemplate, engage, and savor the meaning of Jesus's stories, rather than understand them immediately, is part of their underlying value. These teachings will help us unlock the deep meaning and surprise of the wonderful and "scandalous" parables of Jesus.
