In week three of Justice in the Bible, join us on a journey through the Gospel of Luke, often hailed as the epitome of social justice teachings within the New Testament.
Through insightful analysis and deep reflection, we delve into Luke's unique perspective on compassion, equality, and love in Christ. From the iconic parable of the Good Samaritan to contemporary issues echoing its themes, we explore how mercy intersects with our understanding of neighborliness, justice, and the call to action in today's world.
Each episode invites listeners to ponder what it truly means to "go and do likewise" in the pursuit of a more just and compassionate society. Join the conversation as we discover the transformative power of mercy in our lives and communities.
