Why is St John's Gospel so different from the other three? Who was this Gospel writer, and how does he relate to the twelve apostles? What unique insights does he give us into Jesus Christ, God made man? And what messages does he have for our own lives, two thousand years on?Paula Griffiths probes the text of John's Gospel to explore the mystery of John's identity and his description of the Mystery of the Incarnation. In a series of reflections on different aspects of the Fourth Gospel, she traces its themes and ponders on their meaning for each of us. This book will appeal to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the New Testament accounts of the life of Jesus, including those studying for ministry, and provides rich material for discussion groups.
