Objectives
At
the end of this lesson you will be able to:
1. List three Old Testament parables and explain
their meaning; and
2. Write your own parable for a modern day
situation
10
sample questions of 21:
1.
We have met three well-defined parables as we have gone through from
Joshua to 2 Samuel. Can you recall who told them (Jg 9:7ff, 2 Sam 12:1ff;
14:4ff)?
2. Let us briefly recall the content
of each one. Jotham told his parable about the trees: they were seeking a
king and asked in turn the olive tree, the fig tree and the vine. They gave
different reasons for refusing the position but what was it they had in common?
How
to use the Sample Material
Read through the section below and answer the question(s) posed.
Check the answer or the course writer’s own view by hovering your
mouse over the raven.
In most
sections (‘frames’) you will be asked for a response of some
sort, perhaps an answer to a question or to give your view on something.
Some of the frames will be easy, and require a quick, objective answer –
just to check that you are following the train of thought. Sometimes there
is a more involved question, requiring your own reflection and with no ‘right
answer’ as such.
The idea
throughout is that in interacting with the material, you know whether you
have understood what is being offered, and whether you agree with it or
not.
