What's A Parable?
Contributed by Suresh Manoharan on Dec 11, 2012 (message contributor)
WHAT'S A PARABLE?
Some have defined the word parable as "a story by which something real in life is used as a means of presenting a moral thought." Others have said a parable "puts the known next to the unknown so that we may learn." They are usually a story or a narrative taken from nature or from everyday human experiences. Perhaps the simplest definition of all is that a parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.
