This week Martin Tanner talks about four parables of Jesus Christ that he believes are misunderstood by the general listener, the hidden meanings, and the history behind them.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son; a parable about a rich son who was reaccepted by his father after squandering is wealth. The Parable of the Good Samaritan; the parable of a Samaritan who helps a traveler on the road after a priest and Levite avoided the traveler. The Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard; about three workers that were paid equally even though they worked different hours of the day. And lastly, The Parable of the Pearl of Great Price.
