The Tale of Two Sons: The Inside Story of a Father, His Sons, and a Shocking Murder (Rating 1 of 5)
I have listened to Johns teachings for over 20 years and most are sound teachings. His new book is very disturbing to me. While John prides himself on his exegetical skills, he reads the most outrageous ideas into this parable. The book is total unmitigated isogesis. The parable is about Gods willingness to forgive a sinner when he truly repents. John morphs the eldest Son into a Pharisee and attributes all type of evil intent to the faithful older Son. How does John read the older sons mind? The entire meaning of the text is changed. Please explain to me how this is not adding to scripture. If Jesus wanted the parable to say this, he would have done so. In Luke 15 :31 the Father commends the eldest Son for his faithfulness and says everything the Father owns belongs to him, and offers explanation for the celebration. He does not call him an evil, self righteous Pharisee. If I wrote that book I would repent, fire my ghost writer, recall every copy.
