Great discussion of Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well
June 14, 2014 § 3 Comments
George Amoss Jr is a really fine biblical commenter, in my estimation, and his latest post is a great example. A Quaker Reading of John 4:1-42 looks at Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. George sees the roll of tradition (the well) as pointing to the living Word as the true source of divine Spirit.
I invite my readers to check it out.
And a personal note: I moved into my new house day before yesterday and it’s been too completely nuts to pay attention to my blog. Thanks for being patient. I hope to resume writing in the next week or so.

This is marvelous, Steve. Thank you! What an amazing layering of allusions and resonances and cross-references there is in the Fourth Gospel, and I’m so grateful to exegetes like George Amoss for bringing them to light! — and friends like you who find George’s insights and tell the rest of us about them!
Thanks, Steven!
Sure, moving is important…while the rest of us starve for a new entry.
🙂 May your new home be blessed.
