A blog by Dr. David B. Gowler (Oxford College of Emory University) about the reception history of the parables of Jesus. It includes reflections on issues from four of my books on the parables: Howard Thurman and the Quest for Community: From Prodigals to Good Samaritans, What are They Saying about the Parables?, The Parables after Jesus, Howard Thurman: Sermons on the Parables (Orbis).

Howard Thurman: "The Religion of Jesus" Tweets
As one response to the many crises facing the world today, the COVID-19 crisis and the resulting problems being caused or heightened by it, I started a daily tweet series about Howard Thurman's views on the Religion of Jesus. Today's 5-part tweet is about his sermon on the Wheat and the Tares parable.
He talks about why, even when it appears to make no difference, we should choose to do good, including the expectation of Jesus that "the universe does not ultimately sustain tares [evil]".
