The Parable(s) of the Lost Sheep

Dr Barry Newman continues to blog about well-known Bible passages, and he’s just finished writing on The Parable(s) of the Lost Sheep. Helpful for preachers and anyone wanting to tease out the meaning of Scripture.

“The parable of the lost sheep, that wonderful story told to so many Sunday School children over the centuries, is not as innocent and lovely as it might first appear. …

The parable is recorded in two of the Gospels: Matthew 18:10-14 and Luke 15:3-7.”
