Under virtually any definition, most Christians everwhere
are incredibly ignorant of the real meaning of Scripture. They are guided by their Priests and pastors to read the gospel on a surface level only, and to ignore any possibility of parable within it. What a shame, for Jesus positioned such people 'on the outside', saying that they 'look and look, yet not see ... listen and listen, yet not understand' (Mark 4:11-12). For an introduction to the parabolic meaning of the gospel, what Jesus called 'the
secret of the Kingdom of God' (Mark 4:11), a good start is the book 'The Judas Secret' by N Fromings. Without this kind of understanding, Christians are essentially still novices.
