Episode Synopsis

John explores where we stand when we read scripture shapes what we understand it to be saying. He uses the passages from Proverbs 31:10-31 and Mark 9:30-37 to illustrate his point. Is the reading about the capable wife really that sexist, or pointing to a counter cultural understanding of the role of a wife? Why is it we cannot hear Jesus say that when we welcome a child we welcome God?
