Meeting St John Today

A preeminent biblical scholar offers a clear, concise, and respectful presentation of John's Gospel. John's Gospel is a literary and theological masterpiece--but therein lies the problem for many people in the pew. Believing John's Gospel to be too abstract and spiritual for them to comprehend, they never read it for themselves; as a result, they miss out on the amazing beauty and simplicity of John's message. In Meeting St. John Today, renowned biblical scholar Daniel J. Harrington, SJ, guides us through this rich Gospel while bridging the gap between modern biblical scholarship and Christian spirituality. This quick-moving book--which includes a narrative analysis of the Gospel and an overview of its theological message--serves as an excellent resource for Bible-study groups or for individuals.
