The Parables and Other Stories by Stylianos Atteshlis

Daskalos was often asked for the inner meaning of the parables, which were such a constant feature of the teachings of Jesus the Christ. Here Daskalos comments on each parable in terms of his own teachings. The text used is that given in the New English Bible, used with the blessings of the Protestant Churches of the United Kingdom.

Stylianos Atteshlis (1912-1995), was a Greek-Cypriot Christian mystic and esoteric healer known internationally as Daskalos- the Greek word for teacher. He was educated in Cyprus and abroad, and pursued a career in the Cyprus Government printing office, but he also spent some years in Africa.

For seventy years he had been teaching, trying to wake people out of their spiritual slumber. In the last years of his life, people from all over the world came to Cyprus to hear his lectures and seek healing. Daskalos enjoyed composing and performing music (violin and piano), writing poetry, painting, gardening, studying languages, and authored a handful of books.
