Govett on the Parables

Robert Govett

Hard cover; 458 pgs

A compilation of tracts and booklets by Robert Govett originally published from 1845-1900, this book walks through 16 crucial parables of the Lord Jesus.

A good reference tool for serious students of the Bible. A representative highlight from the Parable of the Ten Virgins in (Matt. 25):

Brilliantly addressing the common error of interpreting the five wise virgins as genuine saved Christians and the five foolish as false Christians, Govett points out that all ten are alike in the following characteristics

1. Virgins 5. Falling asleep

2. Going forth 6. Sleeping until the cry to Arise

3. To meet the bridegroom 7. Rising together at the cry

4. Taking their lamps 8. Trimming their lamps

-All of which can only refer to genuine believers 

-They only differ in whether or not they wisely paid the price to gain more oil

-Which determines whether they enter the wedding feast or are shut out

How about us?
