The Bampton Lectures were inaugurated at the University of Oxford in 1780 at the behest of William Bampton. Bampton, who left Oxford a generous bequest of land and estates, stipulated that the university in turn establish an annual series of eight lectures to be delivered in the University Church.

The parables of Jesus are among the most memorable and enduring of the words Christ spoke on earth. When plain language was too much for his audience to bear, Jesus used the parables as a means to teach the truth in a way that his followers and even his detractors could more easily digest. This collection brings together many classic volumes that delve into the meaning of the parables, both individually and as a whole. Whether you are looking for a brief overview or a more detailed analysis of individual parables or an examination of the parables as a whole, you will find it in this collection.

In this collection of sermons, John Farrer offers in depth coverage of nine key parables, as well as several introductory sermons on the nature and purpose of parables. Kirk delves deeply into each parable providing essential context of the original target audience, the literal and spiritual meanings of the biblical texts, and the application to us today. Each sermon is crafted to explain the scriptures, and lead the hearer to live it out in a personal way.

These biblical sermons, from a variety of traditions and homiletic approaches, open up Scripture so you can see how centuries of preachers before you have handled the verse you’re studying or preparing to preach from.
