For many of us, the parables of Jesus are delightful but mysterious, and at times even scandalous. Dallas Willard opens up for us the beauty of these parables with such uncanny skill and grace that, in the end, we become captivated by the greatness and goodness of God. * Richard J. Foster, author, Celebration of Discipline and many other books * I stand in a long line of readers whose prophetic imagination have been profoundly shaped by Dallas Willard. The Scandal of the Kingdom worked on me in the way his writing always seems to--pointing to meaning hidden in plain sight in familiar biblical passages, using grounded (and occasionally provocative) language to offer a pathway for converting intellectual insight into embodied practice. Another great work from a great mind and even greater life. * Tyler Staton, national director, 24-7 Prayer USA, and lead pastor, Bridgetown Church * Over the years of reading and listening to Dallas Willard, I was always longing for a more refined and robust understanding of what he thought Jesus meant by 'kingdom of God.' I am thrilled to see that longing satisfied in his probing of the kingdom of God by examining the deposits of the kingdom as taught in Jesus' parables. In his incomparable manner of attuning all that Jesus taught to a life transformed, The Scandal of the Kingdom develops into fruition Willard's fresh and valuable understanding of the kingdom. * Scot McKnight, professor of New Testament *
