| | | Best resources on all the parables of Jesus
When asked to teach I have been concentrating heavily on the parables of Jesus - but some are quite hard to understand.
What are the best resources on the parables? Sermons, lectures, commentaries, etc?
Prioritize the concise and clearest.
Also prioritize those that center most directly around "the kingdom of heaven is like...."
These materials are to be translated into another language for lessons.

| | | I second Ridderbos. However I think it would be very difficult to translate.

| | Try Alfred Edersheim The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah. While he may have a lot of rhetorical flourishes that would be hard to translate, I think the marrow of it should be reproducible. Here is one online edition. |

| | | A modern source--for your own understanding though not really translatable--is Kenneth E. Bailey: Poet and Peasant and Through Peasant Eyes. He deals with the parables of Luke, especially the historical/cultural settings.
