Abstract
This paper explores the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) in a sociological-theological perspective. Qualitative descriptive research was employed with a literature review to delve into the concept of moving beyond boundaries. It combines sociological and theological perspectives to analyse the parable. The parable of the Good Samaritan is a well-known biblical narrative that continues to resonate with Christians. It recounts a dialogue between an expert in law and Jesus about the requirements for eternal life. In response, Jesus presents a parable involving three figures as a Priest, a Levite, and a Samaritan encountering a wounded man. The Samaritan, transcending social and religious divisions, offers aid to the injured man. Through this parable, Jesus imparts a significant message about loving God and neighbor in practical life.
