Summary

It could well be that the Savior chose to teach principles relating to His infinite Atonement through the carefully cloaked statements contained in these seemingly simple stories of everyday life. This gospel study is the first of its kind to focus attention wholly on the Atonement as the centerpiece of Christ's parables. Join six celebrated LDS scholars in an in-depth examination of specific parables of the Master that teach us directly about the Atonement. Every page of this inspiring book will illuminate aspects of the Lord's ultimate act of redemption and will help the reader better understand the mercy, justice, depth, and power of His infinite sacrifice for all humankind. Come to understand the parables of redemption through this detailed study of six stories from the New Testament. Authors C. Robert Line, Ronald E. Bartholomew, R. Scott Burton, Robert England Lee, Craig Frogley, and Andrew C. Skinner are all renowned scholars and theologians. Most have worked for the Church Educational System or Institute of Religion and have been published previously. Brother Skinner is currently the executive director of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship.
