Synopsis

In this brief and insightful blueprint for reading and appreciating the Gospel of John, noted scripture scholar Wilfrid J. Harrington, OP, guides the reader through the major themes of the Gospel. John has wholly imposed the Christ of faith upon the earthly Jesus. He has painted an icon. An icon brings out the spiritual significance of the subject. This is the final volume in a series of pastoral commentaries on the gospel which seek to make available the best of scriptural scholarship to the nonspecialist. The series will be of particular interest to preachers, teachers, and those coming to scripture study for the first time. †
