Exploring Parables in Luke: Integrated Skills for ESL/EFL Students of Theology

It is no easy task to move from a general English proficiency to navigating the specialized English of theological resources. In addition to linguistic challenges, theology students with English as a second or foreign language face difficult concepts and different ways of thinking. In response, Exploring Parables in Luke aims to help such students more effectively engage with the literature of their field. Chapter by chapter, as students work to interpret Jesus’ parables in light of his person and work, they will grow in both their English and theological proficiency. As a result, students will be better able not only to access English language theological libraries, but also to contribute to them.
