Excursions in Covenant Eschatology

The abstract of my Masters' thesis. From the time of the Early Church until today, interpreters have employed a variety of hermeneutical methodologies to produce a range of different conclusions about the meaning of the so-called “Good Samaritan” passage of Luke 10:25–37. Nonetheless, when defending conclusions that differed from those of their contemporaries, every sincere and committed NT interpreter still referred to the same texts of Scripture as their contemporaries – a text which they all accepted as authoritative in their day. The present thesis is one such defence. The accepted text of its day is the twenty-eighth edition of the Nestle-Aland critical Greek text. The idiosyncratic interpretation it defends is called the “Grateful Victim Viewpoint” (GVV). "The Good Samaritan" by Rembrandt (1630) public domain

I received my grade for my Masters' thesis. Great news! Laidlaw Graduate School has given me an "A" for my Masters thesis. The two examiners gave it very high praise indeed. One of them recommended that I submit it for publication; and each of them recommended I go on to doctoral studies. My supervisor concurred with both recommendations. It was a fantastic result and I'm stoked!
