~~~ Parables for Modern Academia ~~~
New Revised Academic Version (NRAV)
- By Deborah and Loren Haarsma
If Jesus taught on the campus today,
what might His parables say?

Matthew 7:24-27
Therefore, whoever hears these teachings and puts them into practice is like a wise
scholar who built his theory upon data. The criticisms came down, the controversies rose,
and the counter-arguments blew and beat against the theory, but it did not fall apart,
because it had its foundation in data. But whoever hears these teachings and does not put
them into practice is like a foolish scholar who built his theory upon conjecture. The
criticisms came down, the controversies rose, and the counter-arguments blew and beat
against the theory, and it failed pectacularly. (Matthew 7:24-27)
