Immoral or Missionary: Perspectives on the Woman at the Well, with Benjamin Wall: John 4:16-18
Benjamin Wall, Professor of Theology and Ethics and Lanier resident scholar, explores how assumptions shape readings of John 4. He examines whether the Greek term for 'husband' implies marital history, offers non-sexual readings like widowhood or divorce, traces patristic allegory and Eastern praise, and considers how cultural sexualization affected interpretation.
