The Womens' Bible Commentary - The Sinner
by SPCK - Newsom, Ringe and Lapsley
The Sinner Accounts of a woman anointing Jesus appear in all four Gospels: Mark 14:3–9; Matthew 26:6–13; John 12:1–8; Luke 7:36–50. Critics are puzzled about exactly how the accounts are related. What seems likely is that one event lies behind them, an event that was changed radi…

The Womens' Bible Commentary - Greeting
by SPCK - Newsom, Ringe and Lapsley
Greeting The co-authors self-identify as Paul, Sylvanus (Silas), and Timothy. Co-authorship is typical of Pauline letters (1 Thess. 1:1; Phil. 1:1; 1 Cor. 1:1; 2 Cor. 1:1; Phlm. 1; cf. Col. 1:1), implying a collaborative ethos often overlooked by biblical scholarship with its emp…

John THE PEOPLE’S BIBLE COMMENTARY - Show Us the Father
by BRF - Richard A. Burridge
Show Us the Father Thomas misunderstood Jesus’ claim to be ‘the way, the truth and the life’ as a physical way to God. Jesus took him deeper into the spiritual relationship between himself and his Father, so that to know Jesus is to know the Father (14:6–7)…

John The People's Commentary - Belief, Blindness and Fear
by BRF - Richard A. Burridge
Belief, Blindness and Fear We have suggested that John’s gospel is a two-act drama, with this section as an interlude (see on 1:19 and 11:1 above). The central actor, Jesus, is working very hard! He was not merely on stage for most of Act One, but at the centre of the action…

Body - Chapter 3 - The resurrection body (part 2)
by SPCK - Paula Gooder
The resurrection body (part 2) What kind of resurrection bodies? But someone will ask, ‘How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?’ Fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And as for what you sow, you do not sow the body that is to be, but a ba…

Body - Chapter 4 - A spiritual body?
by SPCK - Paula Gooder
A spiritual body? The climax of Paul’s reflection on resurrection bodies comes in 1 Corinthians 15.42–46. Having set up the analogy of resurrection bodies being like a seed that is planted in the ground which needs to be transformed, Paul then laid down parameters which shape how…
