Episode Description

In this “Theology Unpacked” episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ explores a key Lucan theme: the outsider, emphasising how Jesus redefines true faith through mercy and the acceptance of those once considered beyond the fold. 

The Good Samaritan becomes a symbol of the restoration of Israel, showing that even those once excluded, like Samaritans, are central to God's plan. In accepting the rejected, Jesus becomes one himself, highlighting the cost of such radical compassion.
