Summary: | Although the parable of the Good Samaritan has the elements characteristic of an inter religious interchange, that is, interaction among Jews and Samaritans, it has almost never been read that way.

In our day and age of religiously plural cultures, an inter religious reading of the parable has much to offer us. |
