Order Description
Background Information

Jesus often taught with parables. A parable is a story, usually shared verbally, that uses an image or story to illustrate a truth and defines the unknown by using the known. Parables help the listener to discover the deeper meaning and underlying truth of the reality being portrayed. An example of a business-related parable can be found in Luke 16:1-12, where a business man conducted a test of three of his employees. The collapse of Enron was vividly described in the documentary “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.” Although the documentary is not available to view in class, it is available for you to watch as a private individual. Be aware that it contains both profanity and nudity.

The documentary sparked a great deal of conversation over its message, as you will hear in the YouTube video. In this video, you will see an interview with the movie’s producer and the author of the book by the same name discussing the underlying causes and issues involved in the Enron collapse.
