Description
Whether you are completely new to John's Gospel or have read it many times before, Meeting God in John will help you see the Fourth Gospel with fresh eyes and better understand its essential meaning and purpose.
David Ford, one of the world's most widely respected theologians and author of Theology - A Very Short Introduction and The Gospel of John - A Theological Commentary, offers an accessible introduction to the main message of John's Gospel. Powerful and absorbing, it is packed full of compelling observations about the personality and impact of Jesus, both in the first century and today.
Meeting God in John explores what the Gospel teaches us about the revelation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the gospel message better, it will leave you with a new appreciation of and enthusiasm for the riches of John's writing, and the desire to return to it over and over again. Its straightforward, enlightening approach also makes it eminently helpful for new Christians just starting out on their faith journey.
Each chapter includes questions for reflection or discussion, making Meeting God in John a perfect book for Bible study both for individuals and small groups. With a focus on the Passion narrative, it is also ideal for use as a Lent devotional.
Simple yet profound, Meeting God in John is an invitation to anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the Gospel of John and through it to meet the God who is revealed in Jesus Christ.
