"At roughly 200 pages, this book of Jesus' Parables Interpreted strikes me as the perfect length and size for such a text. I was struck by the author's articulate and sincere explanation for having taken on such a venture. I liked some of the cogent and important arguments in her text. I like the author's organization in presenting each parable, followed sometimes by straightforward explanations as in "The Parable of the Two Sons," and sometimes by layered or divergent explanations depending on the gospel from whence it derives. This happens, for instance, in "The Parable of the Wedding Banquet." I admired the lucidity of her writing and her passion for the project. I think many Christians, on both sides of the Atlantic, would appreciate this book."
