One important aspect of Modern Parables is the individual study materials found in the Study Book. In an attempt to supplement personal study, we’re now offering a set of downloads of all six films designed specifically for participants who either are going through or have gone through the class. These downloads include: 1) all six MP films, 2) special chapters on understanding and living the parables, and 3) questions for use in family study. We’re pricing the films to make them affordable to individuals: $10 for all six films in SD quality and $6 for all six films in iPod quality. If you’ve been a part of an MP class (or you’re a regular follower of our site), you can go to our participant download page and use this code (2B6B8D) to purchase the films for your personal use.* We hope you enjoy them!
*These downloads are for personal or family use only, not for teaching a class. To purchase a set licensed for teaching, go to modernparable.com.
SeekSocialJustice.com is now live and includes streaming HD versions of all six lessons. The Heritage Foundation designed the site with some great additional resources, including bonus footage from all the experts involved, spotlights on the different ministries, and suggested readings for further insight. You can watch the complete lessons streaming in HD (when viewing full screen if your bandwidth is high enough); you can download the Study Guide as a PDF and versions of the HD lessons as MP4’s (right-click the link below each of the videos; we recommend using iTunes or Quicktime to view); or you can request a free copy of the DVD and Study Guide. There is a limited supply of the free DVDs and Study Guides, so I’d encourage you to get them now.
We are in the process of creating some additional study materials for people going through the Modern Parables class. In doing so, we updated two of our initial essays on “Understanding the Parables” and “Living the Parables” (currently only found in the Modern Parables’ Leaders’ Guide and at moderparable.com). If you are interested, you can download both essays here. These additional study materials provide an overview of the theology behind the parables as well our perspective on their intersection with the Kingdom of God.
