Parables of Jesus: "The Good Samaritan"

We are living in an age of rising knowledge and declining compassion—where convenience often trumps conviction, and where the cries of the wounded are muffled by the noise of ambition, distraction, and busyness. It is in such a time as this that a book like The Good Samaritan is not just timely—it is urgent.

Jesus’ parable in Luke 10:25–37 was not told to entertain or educate; it was a holy confrontation. It challenged a religious expert who wanted to justify himself, and in doing so, it exposed a deeper question: not “Who is my neighbor?” but “What kind of neighbor am I?” That same challenge confronts us today.

In this remarkable work, Olatunde Foye breathes fresh life into this timeless passage—not by diluting its message, but by grounding it in both biblical truth and modern relevance. With clarity and conviction, he unpacks the story of the Good Samaritan, calling today’s generation to step beyond shallow faith into living mercy—mercy that moves, mercy that gives, mercy that risks.
