In his book, The Samaritan Way: Lifestyle Compassion Ministry, David Crocker puts this spin on the story of the Good Samaritan:
“The story of the Good Samaritan teaches and inspires compassion, but in a more general sense, it teaches priorities according to Jesus. The Samaritan is not the only model in the story. The Priest and Levite provide negative models."” [31]
“Did they wonder whether they did the right thing in passing by without so much as lifting a finger to help, or were they so programmed not to defile themselves that they hardly gave it a thought? Did their guts tighten the next time they prayed for the downtrodden?” “Were they reminded of their failure every time thereafter they traveled the Jerusalem-Jericho Turnpike?” “How did these two deal with their part in the story?” [33]
