    God Manages His Vineyard Well

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 18, 2025
     | 336 views

    Jesus reworks the old parable of the vineyard to fit the new barbarism. He directs the moral at the human vineyard managers, the religious and secular men who treat the Law and Temple as their personal fiefdom.

Jesus was an out-of-towner, considered a religious zealot and “hick” by the secular and religious authorities ...read more
