Jane Webster writes on "Overcoming Difference: Strange Woman to Samaritan Woman"; Mona West on "The Raising of Lazarus: A Lesbian Coming Out Story"; Holly Toensing on "Divine Intervention or Divine Intrusion? Jesus and the Adulteress in John's Gospel"; and Ingrid Rosa Kitzberger on "Transcending Gender Boundaries in John".
