9781331807094: A Short Introduction to the Gospels (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Discover how the gospels are shaped to tell who Jesus is and why it matters.

This scholarly introduction examines the Gospel of John and explains the book’s purpose and how its material is organized. It shows how the evangelist’s aim to present Jesus as the Christ and Son of God guides both content and structure, with editors influencing the arrangement of chapters and sections.

The work lays out the plan of the gospel as a whole, from its prologue to its conclusion, and discusses how the material may have been reordered or restored. It also addresses broader questions about authorship, context, and the historical basis for the gospel’s flow of events and teachings.
  • Learn how faith and unbelief are contrasted to highlight Jesus’ message.
  • See how the gospel’s structure can be traced across its major parts.
  • Understand the scope from the prologue through the central ministry, farewell discourses, and the resurrection.
  • Get notes on how scholars think about manuscript order and historical context.
Ideal for readers new to John and for students of biblical introduction and classical gospel study.
