John Spiritual Theologian

This is the final volume in a series of pastoral commentaries on the gospel which seek to make available the best of scriptural scholarship to the non-specialist. The series will be of particular interest to preachers, teachers, and those coming to scripture study for the first time. John has wholly imposed the Christ of faith upon the earthly Jesus. He has painted an icon. An icon brings out the spiritual significance of the subject. "As captivating and enlightening a short study of the Gospel of John as any I know. In simple thought and clear language it conveys the fruit of much recent scholarship... It would be hard to find a more satisfying short guide to the Fourth Gospel."--Priest and People. "His writing conceals his scholarship under a clear, flowing, readable style"--The Furrow. "As you read it you may find yourself saying again and again, "I never thought of that before," or "I never quite understood it in that way." In achieving this for his readers, Wilfrid Harrington has done everyone a great service."--Word.
