Jesus, the Word of God
The Gospel of John is unique in many ways: beginning with Jesus at creation, revealing Jesus as God's Word become flesh in the pages of history, and narrating a story about Jesus making God manifest to real people in the real world so humans can enter into eternal life. Who Jesus is and who we understand him to be shape how we respond to Jesus and the kind of person we are created to become.
The purpose of the Gospel of John is to ignite belief in the reader and to fan the flame of faith in those who already believe. John's Gospel highlights how people responded to Jesus in the first century but also showcases responses for readers today: faith that abides in who he is, obeys what he calls us to do, and witnesses about Jesus to the world. Exploring the links between the Bible's world and ours, Scot McKnight presents the enduring relevance of the Gospel of John for today.
Ideal for personal reflection or group study, John will help you see God in the biblical context so you can hear from God in your context.
