Well, I hadn’t heard him (as I posted a bit ago), but then Dave Black put this YouTube on his blog. I had to share it. My pastor does take a great deal from Fred Craddock, and acknowledges him just about every Sunday.
I met Dr. Agatha Thrash back in 1974 when I went to stay with my brother-in-law Ted Nick and my sister Betty Rae. I managed the Country Life Natural Food Store (it was not then a restaurant) for nearly a year. Well, I was manager and sole worker. I didn’t really get to know Dr….

I’ve posted the event for my study on eschatology tonight. I’ll be looking at Isaiah for at least two sessions, the first focused on the servant passages as an exercise in interpretation, and the second on the language of the latter chapters and how it is incorporated into apocalyptic and in turn into our eschatology.
My friend Thomas Hudgins is starting a new blog, which will have material from two radically different points of view. I’d love to see more of this sort of thing—people of substantially different views actually communicating! Check out Across the Atlantic.
Henry, I’m wondering why this pericope has captured the attention of scholars. Is there more to this than a mystery to be solved?
Well, I attended a conference at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary where one of the organizers was Dave Black. I found it very technically interesting, though I didn’t really change my mind about that much. I would still say that it’s good to preach it, but that I don’t think it was originally in its current place in John. The papers from the conference, however, are quite detailed and complex!
The provenance is very uncertain, but the passage has a feel of authenticity.
I love the fact that Jesus sets the woman free before suggesting repentance – which is the reverse of so much preaching.
