Jesus and His Own

“This study in John’s Gospel delivers more from less. ‘Less’ indicates that the study concentrates on five of John’s twenty-one chapters (13–17), which record Jesus’ farewell talks with his disciples and prayer to his Father on behalf of his own. ‘More’ indicates that the content of this book can function as an introduction to the whole Gospel, especially for homiletic purposes. . . . Contemporary listeners, numbed by long-standing casual familiarity with John’s Gospel, will hear the words of Jesus in fresh ways, will see the situation of the first-century church with new eyes, and will engage with the radical gospel for our time.”
