The Kingdom of God Is Like . . . Baseball: A Metaphor for Jesus's Kingdom Parables - Hardcover
Details
by James S. Currie (Author)
Jesus used parables to teach his disciples certain truths about the gospel. The parables employed word pictures, such as of planting seeds and other agricultural images, that were familiar to his listeners. What kind of imagery could be used today to talk about the gospel? Baseball, "America's pastime," might be one source of such familiar images. In this book Currie has attempted to find theological themes and to describe the gospel in the sport of baseball.
