Wayne A. Meeks delivers a masterly study on the figure of Moses in the Gospel of John and how this imagery is used to define the identity of Christ.

By examining the Moses-Jesus typology, you will gain fresh insights into how the early Church came to understand the divinity and mission of Jesus. Whether you are an advanced student of the Bible or a pastor looking for deeper theological foundations for your preaching, this volume is a key academic resource. It will help you see the Gospel of John with new eyes, connecting you to the rich history of biblical interpretation.
