The scholarly work deals with Lucan parables such as 1) Parable of the Unjust Steward, 2) Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, 3) Parable of the Mina, 4) Parable of the Sower, 5) Parable of the Rich Fool, and 6) Parable of a Mustard Seed; from socio-economic perspective. The method adopted in doing this research is a Mizo Tribal reading.

The author has wisely utilized Mizo oral traditions and cultural heritages such as folktales, folksongs, images, sayings, proverbs, stories and maxims, as hermeneutical tools to interpret the selected parables.
