Description
How is Jesus the giver of life in the Gospel according to John? How is the Jesus portrayed in John's Gospel as
the Word/Revealer who comes down from God and the Redeemer who
returns to God so special in the Gospel traditions
about Jesus? What does the Church, the people of God, look like
in the Gospel according to John? What is the
significance of Jesus' death on the preparation day for Passover
in the Gospel according to John? If miracles are
called mighty deeds in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke,
why are they called signs in the Gospel of John, and being
signs, to what do they point? This four-part summer bible
study will help you answer these and other questions which are
essential to understanding the Gospel of John.
