Gospel of John
Overview
John is known as “the apostle whom Jesus loved” (John 20:2), and one of the three considered to be in the inner circle of Jesus’ friends, along with Peter and James. His tenacity showed as he was the only apostle who was present at the foot of the cross when our Lord was crucified. Through the expert exegesis of Scott Hahn and Mark Shea, you will be led through the multi-layered writings of St. John and discover much more than you ever realized about this Gospel.
Top Highlights
“This is exactly the Evangelist’s point—Jesus often permits those who are his friends to be afflicted with suffering” (Page 141)
“for many of Jesus’ friends, suffering leads to a truly amazing sign of healing and love” (Page 141)
“In John’s Gospel, reality is sacramental. It’s a story told by God, not just” (Page 54)
“When the Evangelist writes about the Word he isn’t referring to any sounds uttered by human beings, or even to Scripture itself, but to the second person of the Holy Trinity, the Son who is both God from all eternity and yet a person distinct from God the Father. The Word is God the Father’s perfect self-expression, uttered from all eternity, through whom God made all things.” (Page 9)
“As St. Augustine put it, the New Covenant is hidden in the Old, and the Old Testament is unveiled in the New.” (Page 9)
