Politically Correct Parables - Softcover

In this witty recasting of first century stories, Walker takes political correctness to ridiculous extremes by retelling a variety of biblical parables. The Good Samaritan becomes, "The Generosity-Gifted Samaritan." The tale of the Pharisee and Publican becomes, "The Generosity-Gifted Pharisee and Marginalized Publican." Even Jesus has some hilariously memorable lines: "Do this and you will never be terminally inconvenienced."

In an era of over-the-top political correctness, Politically Correct Parables, is a refreshing and funny sermon on going too far. If you know the Bible-- or if you're simply sick of the self-righteous political correctness that surrounds us-- you will find this book an amusing and enlightening read.

The generosity-gifted Samaritan took the medically needy male Jewish person to an inn and said to the innperson, "This person needs medical attention. I didn't have time to take him to my Health Maintenance Organization. Please meet his needs and I'll make a transfer payment from my bank account to pay the bill."

Then Jesus asked the multiculturally impaired lawyer, "Which of the three persons was the most sensitive to the male Jewish person's needs?"

The lawyer unwittingly revealed his own moral dysfunction by commenting, "I wish I could have found that man myself and sued those morally different persons."

Jesus said, "You're not getting the point. Let me rephrase the question. Which of the three was a neighbor to the male Jewish person?"

The lawyer reluctantly answered, "The one who was generosity-gifted."

Jesus said, "Go and do likewise."

The lawyer immediately ran to the Jerusalem-to-Jericho road and began looking for victimized persons (potential clients) so he could enhance his income.
