5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, May 5 2004
By Jim Morcombe (Perth, Western Australia) - See all my reviews
One of the other reviews described this book as "The best and the worst". His main complaint was that the language was dry.

This is two books included in one volume. The first book is described by Bailey himself as being "more technical".

If you find the first book hard going, then read the second book first. By the time you have finished reading the second book you will have the motivation to read the first book - and it will mean more to you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Best and the Worst, Mar 25 2002
By A Customer
I agree with others that say this book is the best. Unfortunately this book is the driest work I have ever read. One the other hand Mr. Bailey's videotapes are incredibly interesting and well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book ever written on the parables., Jun 5 1999
By A Customer
I have read several books on the parables, but this is the most enlightening, most preachable and most interesting there is. When you have done a great deal of reading in an area, you begin to doubt how much even a good book is going to help you learn. This book is like someone provided you with a whole new insight in to meaning of the parables. Scholarly yet down to earth! The genuis of the book is that he combines over thirty years of Biblical scholarship and living among the culture of the Middle East. You learn what it meant to the people who Jesus was teaching 2,000 years ago. The only negative for me was the poetry portion of the book, which will probably excite poetry scholars, but was a mystery to me. If you are a Biblical scholar or learner or teacher, it is a must read.
