The Revelation of the Father: Short Lectures on the Titles of the Lord in the Gospel of St John
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
This volume compiles 10 brief lectures by Brooke Foss Westcott examining the different titles used to refer to Jesus in John’s Gospel, such as “the Christ,” “the bread of life,” and “the light of the world.” Westcott studies these titles as a series of self-revelations of Jesus, exploring how they illustrate the inspiration of the Bible, as well as the divinity of Jesus. The text also includes three appendixes with three additional sermons preached at Cambridge that explore some of the main conclusions in a different form and more detail.
