The Signs of The Christ: A New Perspective on John's Gospel
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Signs of the Christ is a commentary and teaching tool focused on the Gospel of John. The author, Dr. J. Rodney Taylor, invites us to join a conversation regarding the Christological signs in John’s Gospel and how they reveal the person and identity of Christ.
Taylor saw the need for a new commentary on John after studying New Testament Greek in seminary. He wanted to bring to light the beautiful signs and symbols within John’s text that prove and confirm the divinity of Jesus. Taylor spent over 2 decades writing, refining, and preaching his work.
You'll appreciate Taylor's attention to detail. You'll love how he points out the significance of words, the way John has placed them in his gospel, and, best of all, what this discovery tells us about Jesus.
For example, Taylor goes into great detail regarding the seven “I AM” sayings of Christ (egō eimi) found in the gospel of John. In his commentary on John 19:20, Taylor points to the deeper meaning of how the inscriptions on the cross were written in the 3 languages of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew (Aramaic). He gives us the significance of each and concludes with:
"All could read and understand the charges. So on the cross of Jesus “meet the three chief civilizations of the world.” Christ’s mission of universal salvation is complete.
