Licentiate of Exegesis and Apologetics

"False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the Gospel. We may preach with all the fervour of a reformer and yet succeed only in winning a straggler here and there, if we permit the whole collective thought of the nation to be controlled by ideas which prevent Christianity from being regarded as anything more than a harmless delusion."

What I have learnt

November 18, 2023

I have learnt about parables.

I have learnt about how the parables were a suitable way of teaching in those days and why certain Parables were cited in some gospel accounts and omitted in others for the sake of achieving purpose.
