Recenzii
Engagingly written, wide-ranging, and important ... this journey through the political Samaritan's uses/misuses, meanings, and citations leaves us with whole new sets of questions about the politics of our society and the place of religion within it.
Illuminating ... an intriguing display of how scripture takes on a life of its own in public life
Brilliant ... a political archeology of Jesus's famous parable, a kind of exegetical investigation into the parable's politics, and how - startlingly - the good Samaritan somehow sits on both sides of the political aisle ... Here is a chance to dig deep into some thoughtful, original public theology that will not offer you partisan triggers ... Spencer's little book is so creative, so fascinating, that I wish there were more political archaeologies of the prodigal son, the unforgiving servant, the two debtors, wise and foolish builders, and so on. Alas, this tiny book is only one for now, so I commend it to you.
