Isg 51: A Guide to St John's Gospel: A Guide to St John's Gospel - Paperback

by Fergus King (Author)

A clear and accessible guide to John's Gospel, aimed primarily at people training to serve the church for whom English is an additional language.

The contributors are theological educators who come from different countries and different religious backgrounds, and bring practical emphasis alongside contemporary scholarly reflection.

The Gospel according to John is a very important writing for Christian tradition. It has a character all of its own, and presents a picture of Jesus of Nazareth which is both similar to the other gospels and yet very different from them.
