Question

In this assessment, you will write an essay about how you see a story told by Jesus. You will not require any outside material for this, just your own ideas based on your own cultural worldview. To do this you will look atONE Bible passage chosen from the following list

The Parable of the Good Samaritan,Luke 10:29–37in the New Testament of the Bible, OR

The Story of the Prodigal (wasteful, indulgent) SonLuke 15: 11-32in the New Testament of the Bible.

You will NOT need anything from the internet or other books to complete this assessment. Indeed if you DO include anything else you will FAIL the assessment and will have to redo it. What we are looking for is howyouview these stories based on your own cultural worldview.

You must do this work on your own - using someone else’s material is plagiarism and will result in a fail.

What to do to prepare for your essay(This is not your essay, just your preparation):

1. Read the material from Georges' book on the 3D Gospel (In ExO Week 2) In it Georges describes three different paradigms or worldview form which people interpret their loyalties and interactions in the world. These are the

- honour/shame paradigm

- the guilt innocence paradigm, or

- the power/fear paradigm

2. Choose the worldview that best represents your own experience. You will write your essay on the basis of this cultural worldview.

3. Choose a Bible story from the two listed above

4. Read your chosen story 3 times - try to understand it as best you can

5. Now write a list of the following

- What parts of the story stood out as strengths (i.e. good things or things that you liked)

- What parts of the story stood out as unusual (i.e. weaknesses, or things you did not like)

Your List could look something like this (These are just made up examples):

Strengths List
Verse	Strength	Why this is a strengthaccording to you and your worldview
4	The Samaritan was a kind man	In my culture Buddha tells us to be kind to everyone
7	The Samaritan Gave money to help the injured man	In my religion giving money to the poor is a good thing
10	etc.
etc.

Weaknesses List
Verse	Weakness	Why this is a weakness according to you and your worldview
5	The Priest should have stopped and helped	In my culture the priest is expected to be the one giving a good example
12	The robbers were mean and should have respected the man's property	In my religion we must always show respect to the rich and the poor.
18	etc.
etc.

6. Now write your essay. This is what you will hand in. This is the assessment task. Your essay should include the following:

Introduction

- tell me what you are about to do (you are effectively restating the things from above)

- tell me what your cultural background/worldview is

- tell me what story you will be using and why (cite the Bible reference)

- DO NOT include some fancy quote

Body

- Now write a transition sentence, something like "I will now look at the story and list the things that I see as strengths and the things that I see as weaknesses"

- Now tell me about the list of strengths and weaknesses you found in the story.

- Write in sentences and paragraphs

- If the item in your list stands out to you based on your cultural worldview then tell me so

- Tell me why this stood out to you

- Tell me what you would have expected should happen

- Give me examples of how people in your culture would have acted in the same circumstances

- Do this as much as you can for each item in your list.

- Use writing style to show me when you are moving from one item to the next

- Use linking words so that anyone who reads your work would be able to follow.

- Get someone to help you with grammar and spelling before you submit the work

Conclusion

- You must never include any new material in your conclusion

- Tell me what you have just done (use the introduction as a guide)

- Re-tell me a short version of some things that stood out to you and why

- Tell me what you think of the Bible story having viewed it from your own cultural perspective

- Tell me if you learned anything from this.

Introduction
Almost everybody is familiar with The Great Samaritan, or if nothing else the thought. The opening of the story involves a lawyer being questioned and timeless life. Jesus asks what the law says immediately. "And, he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself." (Luke 10:29, ESV). The lawyer queries what constitutes a neighbour. The lawyer is incited to give his own response as opposed to getting a lesson from Jesus (Rule, 2017). This put the lawyer on the defensive, and Jesus recounted the great Samaritan illustration as opposed to promptly responding. For what reason was a Samaritan chosen to be the protagonist of the story? We must first inspect how a Samaritan affected individuals who were listening. The Samaritans were individuals who called Samaria their home and who were recognized as Jews (Ungvarsky, 2017). The Samaritans' actions were considered shocking by the Jews of Jesus' day, who shunned them in response (Wenham, and Walton, 2011). The story of the Great Samaritan's fundamental message was to cherish our neighbours as ourselves. It also relates to treating others in the manner in which we might want to be dealt with. In verse 29, subsequent to advising the law master to rehash what is written in response to his question on the most proficient method to acquire timeless life, Jesus goes on to clarify how for affection both God and our neighbours with everything that is in us. describes how a Samaritan man helped a person hurt by thieves despite a priest and a Levite's refusal to do as such to give further explanation on whom we trust our neighbours to be ("Bible Gateway passage: Luke 10:29-37 - New International Version", 2021). We realize what Jesus implied when he said that this is the means by which we should adore our neighbours (anybody) by his compassion and the affection he showed towards him by gauzing his wounds, washing them with wine and oil, and, surprisingly, taking him to a motel and paying for the services. The story of the Great Samaritan teaches us to loan some assistance when others are out of luck and to really focus on others similarly that we would like others to really focus on us.
Main body 
This theoretical experience between a Samaritan and a Jew never occurred (Wenham and Walton, 2005). Individuals that don't get along should nonetheless cooperate, as in this case. It explained what those who were listening most probably previously accepted. They presumably had zero desire to help a Samaritan or the opposite way around. Jesus not just reclassified what a neighbour was intended to be, but he also made Samaria a piece of God's kingdom. Jesus made things a stride further by having the Samaritan put the Jew on his donkey and assurance that he would be dealt with at the motel. Instead of just stopping, he put forth additional attempts to ensure the man got what he wanted.
