Looking
for definition
clearly
an attorney
wanting
clear language
the
black letter
the
term of art, the bounds
the
legal jargon
“Who
is my neighbor?”
The
plain meaning, legislative intent
looking
for limits, for direction
An
expansive response, a case study
a
fact-based scenario
rich
with details, with meaning
judging
from the circumstances,
the
details deciding the issue
the
spirit of the law
not
the black letter
Christ
expansive, richly,
in
the definition of neighbor.

“A Neighbor”
Luke 10:25-37
The lawyer’s question and
the story of the Good Samaritan
