James M. Hamilton Jr. offers a fresh perspective on the gospel of John, revealing how its literary structure uniquely points to Jesus as the Son of God and the fulfillment of the Old Testament.
You may have heard the saying that the Gospel of John is shallow enough for a child to wade in, yet deep enough for an elephant to swim--meaning that any literate Christian can adequately understand it, but there is depth of meaning below the surface that is well worth the effort to explore.

This is your invitation to go deeper.

Like an expert diving instructor, pastor and biblical scholar James M. Hamilton Jr. gives you the tools and training necessary to discover the theological treasures found in the literary structure undergirding John's Gospel. Hamilton helps you

● examine the overall structure of the book of John
● discover key repetitions of terms, phrases, concepts, and themes
● understand Jesus's claims of Old Testament fulfillment
● more deeply comprehend the human and divine natures of Jesus and the triune nature of God

Perfect for pastors, Bible teachers, seminary students, and anyone who wants a fresh, theologically rich experience reading the book of John.
