Oh my - that's like asking me which is my favorite child of mine! I suppose his three volumes (now put into one) on the parables is the place to start (trust me, it's not stuffy boring commentary on the parables; it will grab you by the nape of your neck and shake you around a while and set you back down looking in a different direction) Although The Mystery of Christ...And Why We Don't Get It is stellar and what I often recommend first. And then there's Between Noon and Three which is a must read. And of course...ah, dang. Such a hard task, guiding someone to their first Capon book!
You ever read Robert Farrar Capon? You might find him interesting. I got a lot out of his three books on the Parables, published together in one volume as Kingdom, Grace, Judgment. Here's a representative quote from his Wikipedia page:
> I am and I am not a universalist. I am one if you are talking about what God in Christ has done to save the world. The Lamb of God has not taken away the sins of some — of only the good, or the cooperative, or the select few who can manage to get their act together and die as perfect peaches. He has taken away the sins of the world — of every last being in it — and he has dropped them down the black hole of Jesus’ death. On the cross, he has shut up forever on the subject of guilt: "There is therefore now no condemnation. . . ." All human beings, at all times and places, are home free whether they know it or not, feel it or not, believe it or not.
> But I am not a universalist if you are talking about what people may do about accepting that happy-go-lucky gift of God’s grace. I take with utter seriousness everything that Jesus had to say about hell, including the eternal torment that such a foolish non-acceptance of his already-given acceptance must entail. All theologians who hold Scripture to be the Word of God must inevitably include in their work a tractate on hell. But I will not — because Jesus did not — locate hell outside the realm of grace. Grace is forever sovereign, even in Jesus' parables of judgment. No one is ever kicked out at the end of those parables who wasn’t included in at the beginning.
