But have they read you?” With this thought-provoking question, author Gerald Bilkes introduces readers to the concept of interpreting the Scriptures experimentally as he takes a heart-searching look at Christ’s parables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this spiritually rewarding Bible study, the author shows students of Scripture how to read the parables in a way that takes into account the truth that Scripture searches us as we subject ourselves to it. When we recognize this, we can expect Scripture to transform us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ideal tool for personal or group Bible study, with questions following each lesson, \u003ci\u003e Glory Veiled and Unveiled\u003c\/i\u003e considers the contexts and main messages of twenty-five parables and puts our hearts under the “searchlight” of Scripture, guiding us into the knowledge of Christ, our gracious and glorious king.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“We have come to expect good things from Dr. Bilkes, and in Glory Veiled and Unveiled we are not disappointed.
