Saint Photini, the Samaritan Woman at the Well

Saint Photini (Also known as Photine, Photina, or Svetlana) is the Samaritan woman Jesus encounters in the fourth chapter of the Gospel of John. The early Christians gave her the title isapóstolos, which means "equal to the apostles".  To understand the context of her meeting with Jesus, we review the history and tense relationship of the Jewish and Samaritan communities of Jesus' time, and discuss how the Christian faith is, as Paul puts it, a "ministry of reconciliation".  We discuss also Saint Photini's role as an evangelist and martyr for the new Christian faith. The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion.
