The Spiritual Awareness of Jesus' Parables of Matthew's Gospel Michael Harvey Koplitz

This book examines the spiritual awareness found in Jesus' parables in Matthew's Gospel. Each parable is analyzed using Ancient Bible Study Methods. These methods were initially developed by the Sage Hillel over 2000 years ago and augmented by Dr. Anne Davis and the author. Ancient Bible study methods are based on asking questions about the Scripture. For church people, this is a strange idea because the church teaches that only the church can interpret Scripture. This is not true. God wants us to ask questions because Scripture's meaning is as deep as God, and God is infinite. Then the parable is examined using the sod of PaRDes and a spiritual awareness is revealed. Hopefully, the analysis and spiritual awareness presentation will provoke the reader to examine the parable for him/herself.
