Expository Reflections On The Gospel Of John

Explore the Gospel of John with one of the great teachers of the New Testament, Leon Morris. Morris has spent many years lecturing, preaching, and writing about John's Gospel, and in this volume he expounds upon John's message in a captivating way. - Morris weaves together notes on the historical background, comments on the Greek text, and discussion of the theology of John, along with contemporary illustrations and application. - Rather than proceeding verse by verse, he comments unit by unit on the English text (his own translation of the original Greek). - The tone of Morris's writing is devotional, but it is backed by the weight of scholarship. - Originally printed in four separate volumes, this work is now available in one convenient, durable volume.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. – John 1:1 Wisdom, encouragement, and exhortation is contained in these pages. Not because of the author's brilliance, but because of the words of truth contained in the gospel of John. And just as the Apostle John didn't draw any attention to himself, so also J. C. Ryle clearly and wonderfully directs his words and our thoughts towards the inspired words of scripture. If we truly love God, we will love His word; and the more study His word, the more we will love God.

The Gospel of John occupies a special place among the four Gospels. Not only is it precise in its historical details and its descriptions of the events of Jesus' life and work – lending support to its claim of being an eye-witness account – but it also offers a deep insight into the person of Jesus Christ through his questions, statements and other utterances. In this perceptive book, Christian Community priest Johannes Lauten reflects upon the many layers of meaning in John's Gospel. He explores some of the less well-known figures surrounding Christ, examines recurring words and phrases such as the 'Son of Man' and the seven 'I am' statements, and illuminates themes like knowledge, faith, the workings of grace and Christ's path to the Cross. Lauten also considers the origins of the gospel and questions the accepted notion that it was written by John, the son of Zebedee and the brother of James. He suggests that the account of the raising of Lazarus, a story not recorded in the other gospels, holds the key to the true identity of the 'disciple whom Jesus loved'. his thought-provoking book will be of interest to biblical scholars and those wishing to gain a deeper insight into the central meaning of Christianity.
