The Waiting Father: Sermons on the Parables of Jesus

Volumes of sermons are legion, but there is a book that is in a class by itself. Great scholars are often poor preachers, and great preachers are sometimes indifferent scholars, but the author of this remarkable book is both an outstanding scholar - a former rector of Hamburg University - and a preacher of world renown. This is great preaching; Biblical, relevant, urgent, reminiscent of Luther and of Kierkegaard. Thielicke’s challenging interpretation of the parables brings them to life and gives them a new relevance for today.
