Matthew 25 : Symbolic Vision - Parabolic Living

Many people are familiar with Jesus's teachings in Matthew 25, all of which are frequently cited and discussed from the pulpit. But an exhaustive, book-length study of this critical chapter in scripture will enhance your understanding of Christ's message and his vision for your testimony-and motivate you to grow as one of his disciples. In Matthew 25: Symbolic Vision-Parabolic Living, the second of three books with a Mormon audience in mind on the use of imagery to explain the principles of vision and discipleship in scripture, author William J. Bohn focuses on Jesus's portrait of patterns of discipleship. Three chapters are devoted respectively to the parable of the ten virgins, the parable of the talents, and the similitude of the Last Judgment. A final chapter then explains the unity of vision in these three famous narratives in the Olivet Discourse. Bohn supports his work with extensive references from a variety of sources, including the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, and myriad general authorities and church scholars, resulting in a study of Christ's insight into the true nature of eternal life.
