The Gospel According to John

Résumé du livre

"In this first volume in the series, Larsy Kreitzer explores the distinctive character of The Gospel According to John, as a 'spiritual'Gospel which is nevertheless grounded in history. After opening chapters which alert the reader to the faith and intention of the evangelist, Dr. Kreitzer finds the portrayal of the relationship between Jesus and John the Baptist to be a challenge about the sacrificial nature of Christian ministry. The last five chapters explore such major themes of the Gospel as eternal life, the Paraclete, sacramentalism, the 'I am' sayings of Jesus as 'Son of God'. Here the author intends to 'provide enough material to allow the theme to come alive as a focus for a bible study, meditation or sermon'. The book ends with a list of the available commentaries on the gospel, annotated in a frank and lively way, and aiming to help those who need guidance in buying or borrowing the commentaries that will be of the most use to them in their preaching and wider ministry." --
