About this title

Synopsis

In this witty translation of first century stories, Walker takes political correctness to ridiculous extremes by retelling a variety of biblical parables. An ordained minister and Bible expert, Walker has written ten books about the New Testament. With a devoutly wicked sense of humor, Walker's new book is a refreshing and funny sermon on going too far.

Finally, a generosity-gifted Samaritan walked down that same road. Even though Samaritans were marginalized in that society and considered belief-impoverished by Jews, he stopped by the male Jewish person who, by this time, was severely life-impaired. When he saw the soon-to-expire male Jewish person, he became compassion-abled. He dressed the Jewish male's wounds and put him on his non-human animal. He felt somewhat guilty about exploiting the donkey with the extra burden, but used an outcome-based evaluation to ease his mind.

The generosity-gifted Samaritan took the medically needy male Jewish person to an inn and said to the innperson, "This person needs medical attention. I didn't have time to take him to my Health Maintenance Organization. Please meet his needs and I'll make a transfer payment from my bank account to pay the bill."

Then Jesus asked the multiculturally impaired lawyer, "Which of the three persons was the most sensitive to the male Jewish person's needs?"

The lawyer unwittingly revealed his own moral dysfunction by commenting, "I wish I could have found that man myself and sued those morally different persons."

Jesus said, "You're not getting the point. Let me rephrase the question. Which of the three was a neighbor to the male Jewish person?"

The lawyer reluctantly answered, "The one who was generosity-gifted."

Jesus said, "Go and do likewise."

The lawyer immediately ran to the Jerusalem-to-Jericho road and began looking for victimized persons (potential clients) so he could enhance his income.
