By weaving legal, political, and theological threads, you open a fresh way of reading John. The Gospel’s divine witness can unsettle a straight democratic reading; on the other hand, your focus on the believing community—handing truth down generation after generation—keeps interpretation rooted in lived faith. The result is a vivid picture of covenantal public life. I hope you keep pushing this conversation, especially alongside John’s high Christology, where God’s voice and ours share the jury room of history.
William, one of my inspirations here was your recent post "Sore Truth," in which you expose the error of equating truth and absolute certainty. Thank you for this generous comment and your encouragement to stick around this neighborhood of court and gospel. I hope to.
You are brilliant!
Kimberly, you are dear!
