Kirjan takakannesta:

When you think of Jesus, what attributes come to mind?

Many believers would describe Christ as kind, loving, strong, or powerful. Few would first think of the word genius. When studied in detail, however, Jesus's teachings and interactions with others reveal a combination of profound wisdom, verbal dexterity, simplicity, and creativity.

In this insightful book, author Peter J. Williams examines the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to show Jesus's genius in how he confronted the Pharisees and scribes of his day. Williams challenges those who question whether Jesus really was the source of the parables recorded in the Gospels, pointing readers to the truth of who Jesus is and why that matters for them today.

Although short, this book contains a wealth of wisdom to give today's readers insight into Luke's parables. A gripping and illuminating read!

A fascinating, provocative, and important book that presents a compelling and persuasive case.
