Ep50.5 Seven Last Words: ”I thirst” with Sean Winter

To celebrate 50 episodes of the Love Rinse Repeat podcast, Liam interviewed seven guests about Jesus' seven last words from the cross.

Here, Sean Winter reflects on the words "I thirst", and both their simplicity, as a basic human need for a small mercy in the midst of trauma, and their powerful symbolic and theological overtones. We explore what the words teach us about presence, absence, and the completion of Christ's work. And how Jesus' own thirst shapes how we read the many other times thirst is employed in the Gospel of John.

Rev Associate Professor Sean Winter is currently the Academic Dean, Co-ordinator of Studies in New Testament, at Pilgrim Theological College and Associate Professor within the University of Divinity. He teaches across a range of New Testament subjects, is involved in the formation of candidates for ordained ministries within the UCA and speaks regularly at conferences, churches, and other events within and beyond the Uniting Church.
