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.
