Pisits with Us- "Vindicating the Vixens: The Woman at the Well" with Dr. Lynn Cohick

On this episode, I speak with Distinguished Professor of New Testament and Director of Houston Theological Seminary at Houston Christian University about her contribution to "Vindicating the Vixens: Revisiting Sexualized, Vilified, and Marginalized Women of the Bible." Dr. Cohick wrote a chapter on the woman at the well of John chapter 4. If you have ever viewed the woman at the well as a sexually promiscuous person who couldn't keep a husband, please join the conversation and discover a different lens through which to read the narrative.

Topics discussed:

1. Salvation
2. The woman at the well
3. John 4
4. Jews and Samaritans
5. God's love for the vulnerable
