A Tale For The Pharisees is a novel written by William Gilbert and published in 1859. The book is a satirical work that mocks the hypocrisy and self-righteousness of the Pharisees, a group of Jewish religious leaders during the time of Jesus. The story follows the character of Simon, a wealthy Pharisee who invites Jesus to his home for dinner. Simon is initially skeptical of Jesus' teachings and questions his authority, but as the evening progresses, he becomes increasingly impressed by Jesus' wisdom and compassion. Throughout the book, Gilbert uses humor and irony to expose the flaws in the Pharisees' beliefs and practices. He also critiques the rigid social hierarchy of the time, as well as the corruption and greed of those in power. Overall, A Tale For The Pharisees is a witty and insightful commentary on religion, society, and human nature. It offers a unique perspective on the biblical story of Jesus and his interactions with the Pharisees, and remains a relevant and thought-provoking work today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
