The Two Debtors Made Simple

Five hundred pence or fifty — forgiven much, loves much. This Bible-first guide walks slowly through the parable Jesus told at Simon the Pharisee's table (Luke 7:36-50): two debtors, one owing five hundred pence and the other fifty, both frankly forgiven — which of them will love him most? Twelve chapters cover the dinner invitation, the woman with the alabaster box, Simon's silent verdict, the parable itself, the water, the kiss, and the oil, the doctrine of forgiveness, and the forgiven life — plus fourteen reflection questions for personal study or group discussion.
