S4E22: The Parable of the Dishonest Manager

In this episode we discuss the parable of the dishonest manager from Luke 16. Within an apocalyptic context, the parable is quite simple and straightforward. The dishonest manager responds wisely in light of his own future judgment, whereas the "sons of this age" (v. 8) respond unwisely with their "unrighteous wealth" (v. 11), spending it on that which does not lead to "eternal dwellings" (v. 9) in the age to come.
