The Gospels, part 11: The Gospel of John (2)

The Woman

Back in 2014, I was invited to contribute to Fr. Al Kimel’s fine blog, Eclectic Orthodoxy. The essay I contributed grew into a book — The Woman, the Hour, and the Garden: A Study of Imagery in the Gospel of John (Eerdmans, 2016). I have reproduced and updated that original 2014 essay below as my second post on John in this series. The book, of course, is richer and includes much more material and I hope you will get yourself a copy if what follows here whets your appetite.
