Description

Before we can understand what God has said, sometimes we need to understand how God has said. Different genres of Biblical literature require different understandings. How should we read the parables of Jesus? Are they allegories, with each detail representing something? Or does each one have only one main point? How do they communicate God's Word? How can we understand them 2000 years later?
