{ "description": "<p> Jesus’ teaching that the praxis of love of neighbour is <br>\nthe means to inherit eternal life therefore is of interest to all,<br>\nirrespective of their religious or ideological backgrounds, since <br>\nit deals with a value that is shared universally. So the author<br>\ntakes up the parable of the Good Samaritan and develops a per-­<br>\nspective that affirms this illustration of love of neighbour as a<br>\npoint of convergence of religions, given the presence of and em­-<br>\nphasis on love of neighbour in all religions. Then the author<br>\ntraces the love commandment in other religions. The author con­<br>\ncludes that the followers of different religions do not have to<br>\ngive up or ignore the differences which exist among them. It is<br>\npossible that agreeing and working together on this common<br>\npoint of convergence of the love commandments might bring down <br>\nunwarranted prejudices, promote mutual respect and a sense of<br>\ncamaraderie among them. It can also open up new avenues of<br>\nunderstanding and promote closeness on an ongoing basis, thus<br>\ncontributing positively to the climate of dialogue and co-opera­-<br>\ntion. Thus the love commandments have a great potential to<br>\npromote convergence in the encounter of religions.<br>\n </p>", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode", "creator": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Keerankeri, George" } ], "headline": "The Parable of the Good Samaritan: The Love Commandment and the Convergence of Religions", "image": "https://zenodo.org/static/img/logos/zenodo-gradient-round.svg", "datePublished": "2007-07-07", "url": "https://zenodo.org/record/4284761", "version": "1.0", "keywords": [ "Love commandment", "Parable of the Good Samaritan", "Universal love commandment", "Dialogue of religions" ], "@context": "https://schema.org/", "identifier": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4284761", "@id": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4284761", "@type": "ScholarlyArticle", "name": "The Parable of the Good Samaritan: The Love Commandment and the Convergence of Religions" }
