Jesus Cooked the Books (Luke 16:1-16)

In this episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Dan Price explore the complexities of interpreting parables, particularly focusing on the Dishonest Manager. They discuss the challenges of understanding Jesus' teachings, the nature of forgiveness, and the radical implications of grace. The conversation delves into the misunderstandings of the Pharisees and the contrast between transactional religion and the gospel's message of Christ's forgivness of debt.
