Marty Solomon and Brent Billings are joined by Elle Grover Fricks to continue through the Gospel of John, exploring who the Samaritans are, the place of women in Jewish and Christian practice around the first century, and a sprinkling of midrash to top it all off.Discussion Video for BEMA 257Samaritans Cooking for PassoverTargum — WikipediaTargum Jerusalem, Genesis 28:10 — SefariaThe Samaritan Woman Story: An Alternative View — Israel Institute of Biblical Studies“Women Leaders in the Ancient Synagogue” by Bernadette J.

The BEMA Podcast is a walk-through of the context of the Bible and the Text itself, as well as surrounding history. We deconstruct our common readings of the Bible and attempt to reconstruct them through the lens of historical context.
The main body of work is contained in Seasons 1–5, and we encourage you to start with episode 0 (or even -1) and continue in order through episode 204. Beyond that, we explore new topics, revisit old topics, and dive deeper into practical ways of living out the things we have learned together.
BEMA Discipleship is a ministry of Impact Campus Ministries.
