AMERICAN CHRISTIAN #55“The Allegorical Interpretation of the Good Samaritan”
Interpretation (Part 3)
“I didn’t know that the Word of God meant that!” Well, in most or some cases, it does not! What is an allegory? Reading passages in the Word causes us to come to conclusions, but a passage cannot mean 20 different things, to 20 different people! But there is an intent of the Author (Holy Spirit) and the inspired author as to what is being addressed. Today we look at the parable of the Good Samaritan beginning in Luke 10:25. The setup of this passage is, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven?” The Kingdom of Heaven is the context of the parable. We’ll look at the history of this allegory through the eyes of Origen, Augustine and Luther. But what is Jesus telling us beyond the static of those that came before us? Also, who is your neighbor?
