Mitchell thoroughly expounds each of the parabolic stories of the Old Testament, where he seeks spiritual truths hidden in some of the oldest stories of the Bible.

Although nearly 450 pages (and 1+ megabytes of text uncompressed), the book is cleanly divided, almost like a modern book. Mitchell identifies, analyzes and interprets 48 Old Testament parables.

Edward Craig Mitchell
