A broadcast version of the sermon given at the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland last year by the retiring Moderator, Principal J. E. Davey.
One of the strangest parables in the New Testament concerns the unscrupulous dealings of a servant who is about to lose his job. The parable concludes with the comment ' and the lord commended the unjust steward.' Principal Davey maintains that it was Jesus who commended him, and explains why.
The parable read by Robert Speaight
