Biblical references

Biblical references are mentions or allusions to stories, characters, or teachings found in the Bible, a sacred text in Christianity and Judaism. These references often shape cultural, moral, and historical perspectives. For example, phrases like "good Samaritan" (from the parable of the Good Samaritan) signify kindness to strangers, while "David and Goliath" symbolizes an underdog overcoming a giant challenge. Understanding these references enriches comprehension of literature, art, and societal values, as they are woven into many aspects of Western culture.
