Abstract

BORGES DE MENESES, Ramiro Délio. THE HELPLESS AT THE ROADSIDE (LC 10,25-37): FROM AUDITION TO RECITATION THROUGH DECISION. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2008, vol.58, n.165, pp.19-49. ISSN 0120-3649.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan there is a direct relationship between audition (faith), decision (mercy) and recitation (hope). The story narrated by Jesus Christ is dialectically founded upon these three pillars which define, on one side, a plesiologic aretology and, on the other, suggests a form of poetic ethics, that has its foundation on a deliberative compassion, as it is elaborated on the basis of the exgetical commentary on the parable of the Homo Viator.

Keywords : Good Samaritan; parable; audition; recitation; decision.
