People Of The Bible - The Samaritan Woman At the Well
This reflection, the third in my summer series sermons about little known people in the Bible, is about Jesus’ encounter with the unnamed Samaritan woman at the well.
It raises the question of which is more important: what Jesus gives to us or what Jesus asks of us.
It is about religious experience, specifically William James’s distinction between first hand and second hand religion.
It raises the question of what counts as a religious experience.
Have you ever had a religious experience?
You now have to admit that you are at least a little curious!
