Is John pro-Samaritan?

Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg is the Professor of Ancient Cultures at Israel Bible Center. He joins us this week to discuss unique aspects of his course titled The Jewish Gospel of John - a study initially motivated by the seemingly anti-Jewish message of the text. What he found was a deep connection between the Gospel of John and the book of Ezekiel. Do you have doubts? Listen in and see what you think.

Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg is the Professor of Ancient Cultures at Israel Bible Center. This week we explore how John's gospel is different from the other gospels with particular attention on the Samaritans. Is it possible that the Samaritans are not just portrayed in a positive light in John, but that the author crafted his message to be engaging to them? And how is that connected to Ezekiel's writings?
