~~~ 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 13:3-8, 18-23
A researcher published an exciting new theory. Some readers didn't understand it, and
quickly forgot it. Other readers were too busy with their own work to test the new theory.
Others immediately went to work and got preliminary results, but the difficulties of
performing the proper controls and testing for systematic errors discouraged them. Still
others tested the theory and produced not only confirming data, but also new data and new
theories to test. (Matthew 13:3-8, 18-23)
