Choosing the Better Portion

from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School

In the gospel of John, how do the actions of the Samaritan woman set her apart from the disciples of Jesus? What does it mean to be a disciple? Is discipleship only about learning and following, or is more required? Why does fundamentalism make discipleship impossible? The answer to these questions comes with the difficult reminder that biblical knowledge can only be received at the expense of the disciple's ego. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss the parable of the Samaritan woman in John 4. (Episode 69; Subscribe: http://feedpress.me/the-bible-as-literature) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
