Parable of the Good Samaritan

Jesus Christ and the four Gospels are the most interesting, significant, and influential subjects discussed in the second half of this course.

The events of Jesus’ life, as well as his teachings, are translated into a book called “The New Testament”. The New Testament consists of the…

‘poor’ by Luke includes the vast number of persons who were excluded by Jewish authorities; the blind and oppressed (4:18), persecuted and mournful (6:20), leper and deaf (7:22) etc. (Green 81). Green concludes that “Jesus’ vocation of proclaiming the good news to the poor embraces not only the economically oppressed in particular, but also the excluded and disadvantaged of society…those on the margins of society” (Green…

of the Good Samaritan and of the ten lepers. Luke Was a physician as also stated in Colossians‬ ‭4‬:‭10-14‬. In our time we would be led to believe that he was rich, being a doctor and all, however he could have been born a slave. It was not uncommon in those days for people to have a slave trained in medicine, so they could have a physician in the house.

image. Finally, the emphasis on individuality and Aristotelian ethics/civic humanism finds parallels in core beliefs of Christian teaching – that God cares for each of us – as well as Christian ethics embodied in the golden rule, the parable of the good Samaritan, and the importance of charitable works. Thus, “philosophical” Renaissance artists such as Raphael laid the conceptual foundation and framework for the later development of “Christian humanism,” the belief that human freedom,…

The fact that this Samaritan man cared for this Jewish man is incredible example of whom and what nurses should be. As a nurse I have encountered several people in which their lifestyles and beliefs are completely…

This weekend has been pretty thought-provoking for me. We have heard stories regarding how others have found God and the different ways He can be perceived. And it is with this talk, I will expand on both of these notions. I want to share, the results of my friendship with God. Everyone has had different experiences, and He speaks to us in very diverse ways. In my life most often, in the form of something I least expected. When I am out and about and meet a stranger, or when I spend time with…

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels because they all contain either similar or identical stories from Jesus’ life.
