The Parables Retold
The Parables Retold is a series of short films based on some of the most famous of Jesus’ parables. Created in the UK, this series brings these stories to life by adapting them to screen and to the present day. What kind of characters or circumstances might have Jesus used if He were to tell the same parables today? These films don’t replace the parables of the bible, they connect people to them. The parables have chimed with people for generations and it is a privilege to tell them in a new way for the generation of today
