Video: Reading the Wedding at Cana as Midrash
The New Testament is often misread due to a lack of understanding of its rabbinic nature. What can we take away from this story when we view it through the lens of Jewish midrash?
In this session, we explore the Wedding at Cana story from the book of John through a Rabbinic methodology.
We explore:
- The hidden meaning of the word Cana
- Metaphors and imagery
- The specifics about the day of the week
- What Jesus meant by 'his time'
- Water, wine, and good wine from the Biblical texts and Midrash
- The six stone vessels,
- and more...
Ultimately, a new meaning emerges that challenges the popular traditions of replacement theology.
