Darrell Bock's insight into the Good Samaritan parable
"love the foreigner as yourself"
John Topel's insight into the Good Samaritan parable
The golden rule ought to be applied culturally for Christians: \n 1.)He says that if we want foreigners to understand our language, we should learn theirs. \n 2.) If we want foreigners to understand us, we should first work to understand them. \n 3.) If we want foreigners to listen to what we have to say, we should listen to them first.
Amy Oden's insight into the Good Samaritan parable
This parable is dangerous for Christians if they think of themselves as the hero, and the guest as the victim, the act of hospitality easily becomes an act of "condescension and failure to see Jesus in the experience of the weak and needy."
John Nolland's insight into the Good Samaritan parable
The Good Samaritan parable reminds up the "ditch perspective"--people who are in need do not care about the ethnicity, political affiliation, gender etc. of those who are helping them.
Golden Rule
Do unto others as YOU would have them do unto you
Platinum Rule
do unto others as THEY would want done unto them
