In Parables of Jesus, James Montgomery Boice examines parables of the kingdom, parables of salvation, parables of wisdom and folly, parables of the Christian life, and parables of judgment. Each section has four to five chapters. (Some chapters cover more than one parable.) I think you'll agree that this is a thorough representation of the parables Jesus taught!

Parables of the Kingdom: Matthew 13:1-23; Matthew 13:24-43; Matthew 13:44-46; Matthew 13:47-52
Parables of Salvation: Luke 15:1-32; Matthew 20:1-16; Matthew 22:1-14; Luke 13:22-30; Luke 18:9-14
Parables of Wisdom and Folly: Matthew 25:1-13; Luke 12:13-21; Luke 16:1-9; Luke 6:46-49
Parables of the Christian Life: Matthew 21:28-32; Luke 8:16-18; Luke 11:33-36; Luke 10:25-37; Luke 11:5-13; Luke 18:1-8; Luke 7:36-50
Parables of Judgment: Matthew 18:21-35; Matthew 21:33-46; Matthew 25:14-46; Luke 16:19-31

This was my first time finishing a book by James Montgomery Boice. (I've started several in the past but never finished.) I ended up loving this one, and loving Boice's insight and style. It was thought-provoking. It was straight-forward. It was WONDERFUL. So much to learn! Definitely one worth rereading again and again!

How Boice defines a parable, "A parable is a story taken from real life (or a real-life situation) from which a moral or spiritual truth is drawn."
