Throughout history, stories have been used to convey the highest and noblest truths. In the parables of Jesus Christ, we find some of the best-known examples of such stories, containing depths of meaning still highly relevant to our time.Originally, Christ told the parables to crowds gathered by the lakeside in Galilee, to his disciples, and even to his opponents the Pharisees and Sadducees. Yet, as Evelyn Capel demonstrates, these parables grow from age to age as human consciousness develops, revealing as little or as much as we are able and ready to hear. The Timeless Storyteller discusses twelve of Christ's parables in a way suitable to our present consciousness.

As a naive and innocent young man, Parzival encounters a group of noble knights in the forest. Overcome by the leading knight’s shining armor, he assumes that the man must be a God. This key turning point in Parzival's life inspires him to seek to become a knight himself, and immediately he embarks upon a quest to find King Arthur’s court and ultimately the Holy Grail. Through his journeys Parzival is to learn many unexpected lessons, discovering qualities of empathy, humility, compassion and ultimately true and selfless love.   Filled with spiritual wisdom and artistic beauty, Parzival is one of the greatest works of world literature. In this concise, accessible introduction to the central Gail story, Eileen Hutchins describes the key characters, including Parzival's father Gamuret and mother Herzeleide, and relates the tale in outline. Her classic study also features commentary on the book’s historical background, essays on its significance today, and a comparison with other Grail Romances.
