John's Retrospective
John's Retrospective
God's new creation
About the Book
Reading the Gospel of John with 21st century eyes can be difficult. It's hard to get away from our (post) modern frame of reference. This book uses the Old Testament, second temple literature and other relevant material to help you understand the religious context better and consequently understand John's message more. In particular, this book explores his theme of God's new creation which has a radical impact on how we participate with God in bringing that creation to everyone around us.
