ILLUSTRATED- interlaced with nearly 300 special illustrations, some 20 charts, and over 100 poems.This is a collection of readings on two hundred topics in which are answered nearly four thousand questions on important spiritual and religious subjects, contributed by a large number of Bible students. First published in 1914 as a "NEW, REVISED, AND ENLARGED EDITION," "Illuminated With Nearly Three Hundred Beautiful Illustrations" with "Over 1,250,000 Copies of Former edition Sold."Briefly stated, a Bible reading consists of questions asked concerning some subject, and answers to them from the Bible. In other words, Bible readings mean a topical study of the Bible by means of questions and answers. There are two introductory chapters, "The Bible; Its Origin, History, and Place in the World," and "The Value of Bible Study." The two hundred readings are organized under eighteen headings:I. THE BIBLE; HOW TO STUDY AND UNDERSTAND ITII. SIN; ITS ORIGIN, RESULTS, AND REMEDYIII. THE WAY TO CHRISTIV. LIFE, PARABLES, AND MIRACLES OF CHRISTV. THE HOLY SPIRITVI. THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECYVII. COMING EVENTS AND SIGNS OF THE TIMESVIII. THE LAW OF GODIX. THE SABBATHX. CHRISTIAN LIBERTYXI. LIFE ONLY IN CHRISTXII. CHRISTIAN GROWTH AND EXPERIENCEXIII. PRAYER AND PUBLIC WORSHIPXIV. CHRISTIAN SERVICEXV. ADMONITIONS AND WARNINGSXVI. THE HOMEXVII. HEALTH AND TEMPERANCEXVIII. THE KINGDOM RESTOREDThe readings in this book as originally prepared were contributed by a large number of Bible workers, whose experience in giving Bible readings had taught them the most effective methods of presenting the different subjects treated. The reader and student of this volume will gain a richer and clearer understanding of the Bible and of its practical value in everyday life. Especially, will there be a more comprehensive understanding of the end-time prophecies of the books of Daniel and Revelation with such subjects such as the Antichrist; the Rapture; the Mark of the Beast; Armageddon; the Millennium; and Eden Restored. A clear understanding of Bible teaching regarding such subjects as the State of the Dead; What, When, and Where is Hell; and Which is the True Lord's Day will prove to greatly protect one from Satan's end-time deceptions. "Bible Readings for the Home Circle" will be found an excellent aid to private, family, and public study of the Word of God. No library descriptions found. |

"Our Saviour's parables are distinguished above all others for clearness, purity, chasteness, intelligibility, importance of instruction, and simplicity. They are taken mostly from the affairs of common life, and are intelligible, therefore, to all men." --Dr. Albert Barnes
"Christ's object, therefore, in using parables was to teach the mysteries, or truths, of the kingdom of heaven--truths not necessarily difficult to understand, but which had long been hidden or obscured by sin, apostasy, and tradition--in such a way that the spiritually minded and those desirous of learning the truth, might understand them, and the worldly-minded and unwilling would not. When asked the meaning of any parable, Christ readily explained it to His disciples." (www.preparingforeternity.com/br1914/brhc35.htm)

The Bible however says that Christ spoke to the people in parables to confuse them, not to teach them: "And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, so that 'they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven'” (Mark 4).
"Then the disciples came and said to him, 'Why do you speak to them in parables?' And he [Jesus] answered them, 'To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.'" (Matthew 13)
Jesus had to explain the parables because they were obscure, "dark sayings". ( )
