Book Synopsis Digging Into the Gospel of John by : William E Johnson
Download or read book Digging Into the Gospel of John written by William E Johnson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the 4 gospel accounts in the New Testament, the gospel of John is unique. The first 3 gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, are often referred to as the synoptic gospels, for their content is similar and their approach is similar. John's gospel is different, however. He wrote with a very focused purpose, and he explained that purpose: And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. (John 20:30 NKJV). Every word of John's gospel was written with the express purpose of encouraging belief in the Savior. John wanted people to believe. From his vast memories of Jesus' time on earth, he picked specific miracles and words and events that would make the case for Jesus being the very Son of God. For this reason, many churches and believers distribute copies of the gospel of John, using it as a means of introducing people to Christ. It is also often the suggested starting point when a new believer wants to know where in the Bible they should start reading. As we dig into the gospel of John, we will find ample evidence that Jesus was and is the very Son of God. We will examine the 7 specific signs that John chose to prove His case. We will hear the sayings of Jesus, most of them unique to John's gospel and not recorded in the other 3, that demonstrate Jesus claimed to be the very Son of God. And hopefully, we will come away believing... believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so believing we may have life in His name.

Book Synopsis The Branches of the Gospel of John by : Kyle Keefer
Download or read book The Branches of the Gospel of John written by Kyle Keefer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Branches of the Gospel of John, Keefer presents a new paradigm for understanding the role of history of interpretation in New Testament studies, with a focus on the Gospel of John. Drawing largely from the work of Hans Robert Jauss, he presents history of interpretation as a means to understand both the text and the historical reader. Jauss's concept of Rezeptionsästhetik helps the New Testament scholar to reflect upon both text and history in a new light. John is an exemplary work to investigate along these lines because no other canonical book was as provocative in the early church. John was used extensively by Valentinians but also by the best-known opponent of Valentinus, Irenaeus. Later, major figures such as Origen, Augustine, and John Chrysostom worked through this gospel, chapter by chapter, to produce either commentaries (Origen) or sets of homilies (Augustine and Chrysostom). What emerges in The Branches of the Gospel of John is a realization that these early interpreters prove fruitful for both textual and historical study of the Fourth Gospel. With regard to history, early interpreters of John provide data points for understanding John in second- and third-century contexts. Although these early interpretations do not explain the origins of John's gospel, they nevertheless provide us with evidence of the Fourth Gospel's historical role in the construction of the early church. With regard to literary and textual issues, the present book demonstrates that these early readings of John can open up fresh avenues of interpretation for contemporary readers.
Book Synopsis The Gospel of John: More Light from Philo, Paul and Archaeology by : Peder Borgen
Download or read book The Gospel of John: More Light from Philo, Paul and Archaeology written by Peder Borgen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Paul the traditions from and about Jesus had authority similar to that of the Scriptures: a logion or story served as text for paraphrastic expositions. Such expositions are also seen in John's Gospel. - It is insufficient to discuss 'John and the Synoptics'. A better scope is 'John within early gospel traditions'.- Paul and Philo maintain a cosmic understanding of Jesus and the Jewish people, respectively. Correspondingly, Jesus is seen in cosmological perspective in John's Prologue. Philo illuminates the role of God's logos relative to creation and revelation. - Archaeology testifies to the reliability of John's topographical references. Both John and Philo can combine theological and ideological elaborations with specific geographical references, historical events and religious feasts. The study has brought in material and perspectives which strengthen the view that the Gospel of John was independent of the other three written gospels.
Book Synopsis Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels by : Thomas R. Hatina
Download or read book Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels written by Thomas R. Hatina and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the fourth in a set of volumes, which together explore current approaches to the study of scripture in the Gospels. Thomas R. Hatina's latest edited collection begins with an introduction surveying methodological approaches used in the study of how scriptural allusions, quotations, and references function in John, with subsequent essays grouped into four categories that represent the breadth of current interpretive interests. The contributors begin with historical-critical approaches, before moving to rhetorical and linguistic approaches, literary approaches, and finally social memory approaches. Each study contains not only recent research on the function of scripture in John, but also an explanation of the approach taken, making the collection an ideal resource for both scholars and students who are interested in the complexities of interpretation in John's context as well as our own.
Book Synopsis The Gospel of John by : Judith Schubert
Download or read book The Gospel of John written by Judith Schubert and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel of John: Question by Question provides useful material and a format that will enhance both introductory courses in the Gospel of John and adult study groups. Other publications on the topic offer comments on every chapter of the Gospel or topical explanations of the Gospel's subject matter. This book combines these two practices often in that it provides brief commentary on biblical texts and periodically provides background on a topic relative to the Gospel. The book consists of twenty chapters. Each chapter includes an Introduction of pertinent information that will be helpful before reading the biblical text. One of the main features of the book surfaces in the Questions that appear in each chapter, which help clarify the meaning and message of the text and its context. These questions intend to clarify the issues of each chapter by raising an inquiry into an unclear issue. Answers appear in the second section of the book so as to provide the opportunity for the reader to discover the answer before turning to responses that have been provided for each question. At the end of the Questions in each chapter, a Conclusion will summarize the chapter and advance the reader to the next chapter.
Book Synopsis Excavating the Evidence for Jesus by : Titus M Kennedy
Download or read book Excavating the Evidence for Jesus written by Titus M Kennedy and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine the Evidence Surrounding Jesus No other figure has impacted history like Jesus. Yet today, he’s often seen as a mythical character whose legend increased over time. So what does the historical and archaeological evidence say about Jesus? Archaeologist Dr. Titus Kennedy has investigated firsthand the discoveries connected to Jesus’ birth, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection. He has visited and excavated where Jesus walked, and examined the artifacts connected to Jesus’ life. Here, he presents an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the research and findings that illuminate the historicity of Christ as presented in the Bible. Excavating the Evidence for Jesus progresses chronologically through the Gospels, noting the many relevant archaeological, historical, geographic, and literary findings. As you read, you’ll be able to decide for yourself whether the evidence confirms the existence and story of Jesus, and determine whether the Gospels are worthy of being approached not as legends, but as history. Further, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the historic basis of Christianity, a richer knowledge of the ancient world, and an evidence-based perspective on the reliability of the Bible.

Book Synopsis The Legacy of John by : Tuomas Rasimus
Download or read book The Legacy of John written by Tuomas Rasimus and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-10-26 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates the early, second-century reception of the Fourth Gospel. This is an era when its fortunes are surrounded by silence and mystery. It was assumed, until quite recently, that Gnostic and other so-called heterodox groups were the first ones to appreciate this gospel, and hence the mainstream Christians avoided using it until Irenaeus rescued it for the church. Lately, this view has been challenged by several scholars for several reasons. The contributions in this volume, written by leading specialists in their respective fields, offer an approachable, fresh, comprehensive and up-to-date view of the second-century reception of John’s Gospel, in a situation where new understandings about various forms of early Christianity and its multiformity have started to emerge.

Book Synopsis THE GOSPEL of JOHN, ONE DAY at a TIME by : Timothy C. McKeown
Download or read book THE GOSPEL of JOHN, ONE DAY at a TIME written by Timothy C. McKeown and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1, 14). With those simple yet majestic words, the Apostle John began his gospel. The purpose of the final of the four gospels is found in John 20:31, “These (things) are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.”
"Come and see" was the first of many invitations that Jesus gave to the young fisherman from Galilee. The gospel invites the readers likewise to “come and see” the Light of the World … to taste the Bread of Life … to drink the thirst-quenching Living Water … to enter the Door to the sheepfold … to see an empty tomb … to believe that Jesus rose from the dead. The Gospel of John is the deepest of the gospels and the most contemplative of all of the books in the New Testament. For seven weeks, come and see every morning and evening that Jesus is the Christ by reading through this dynamic study. In The Gospel of John, One Day at a Time, author Timothy McKeown offers a devotional designed for everyone, but especially new believers, to dig deeply into John’s account of the life of Christ.

Book Synopsis Prayer in John’s Farewell Discourse by : Scott Adams
Download or read book Prayer in John’s Farewell Discourse written by Scott Adams and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was reported that a doctoral student at Princeton once asked Albert Einstein, "What is there left in the world for original dissertation research?" He replied by saying, "Find out about prayer. Somebody must find out about prayer." Since Einstein's day, a great deal has been written on the topic of prayer in general. However, relatively little has been written about prayer in John's Farewell Discourse in particular. Therefore, this analysis not only seeks to understand the relationship between Johannine and Jewish, Greco-Roman, and Christian prayer traditions, but also seeks to discern the unique function and application of prayer as it is prescribed in the Farewell Discourse.
Book Synopsis John Through Old Testament Eyes by : Karen H. Jobes
Download or read book John Through Old Testament Eyes written by Karen H. Jobes and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Testament commentary steeped in the Old Testament Through Old Testament Eyesis a new kind of commentary series that illuminates the Old Testament backgrounds, allusions, patterns, and references saturating the New Testament. These links were second nature to the New Testament authors and their audiences, but today's readers often cannot see them. Bible teachers, preachers, and students committed to understanding Scripture will gain insight through these rich Old Testament connections, which clarify puzzling passages and explain others in fresh ways. In John Through Old Testament Eyes, Karen Jobes reveals how the Old Testament background of the Gospel of John extends far beyond quotes of Old Testament scripture or mention of Old Testament characters. Jobes discusses the history, rituals, images, metaphors, and symbols from the Old Testament that give meaning to John's teaching about Jesus--his nature and identity, his message and mission--and about those who believe in him. Avoiding overly technical discussions and interpretive debates to concentrate on Old Testament influences, volumes in the Though Old Testament Eyes series combine rigorous, focused New Testament scholarship with deep respect for the entire biblical text.
