John - Richard Burridge - Bog

The People's Bible Commentary series presents scholarly insights in straightforward terms, aiming to instruct the head but also to warm the heart, and pointing to how the truths received can be applied personally. Sublime and poetic, John's gospel has fascinated theologians and mystics for centuries. It has been described as 'a book in which a child may paddle but an elephant can swim deep'. At the same time, it is still a story - the story of Jesus' words and deeds, his signs and teaching, and how these led to his arrest, death and resurrection. This commentary follows the flow of John's narrative, showing how it is patterned and devised, to help the reader grow in understanding and in faith.
