Description
Two millennia after being composed, the New Testament parables remain ubiquitous and, yet, few have stopped to glean from one of Christ’s most prevalent analogies: money. In The Economics of the Parables, Fr. Robert Sirico pulls back the veil of modernity to reveal the timeless economic wisdom of the parables. Thirteen central stories—including “The Laborers in the Vineyard,” “The Rich Fool,” “The Five Talents,” and “The Faithful Steward”—serve as his guide, revealing practical lessons in caring for the poor, stewarding wealth, distributing inheritances, navigating income disparities, and resolving family tensions. As contemporary as any business manual and sure to out last them, this book equips any economically informed reader to uncover the enduring financial truths of the parables. Hardback, 256 pages. #1033
