About this title

Synopsis

Perhaps the most popular New Testament book for devotion and contemplation, the Gospel of John provides the Bible's clearest demonstration of who Jesus was and what his life meant. The short, simple sentences from the disciple whom Jesus loved grow in force as they join together to express magnificent themes. Richard Burridge ably unpacks the flow of John's narrative, underscoring that the gospel offers both a clear account of the words and works of Jesus of Nazareth and an awe-inspiring masterpiece of meditation and theological reflection.

The Daily Bible Commentary
A mere reading of the Bible fails to fulfill its ultimate purpose. The Bible's message is meant to transform. The Daily Bible Commentary series distills the best of current scholarship into the straightforward language of a devotional. It skillfully opens each New Testament book and helps readers respond to the eternal truths within. General editors Richard A. Burridge, Dom Henry Wansbrough, and David Winter, together with other renowned scholars from an array of Christian traditions, provide helpful introduction, accessible explanation, and fresh meditations on individual passages. Balancing profound reflection with penetrating insight, the two-page daily readings engage the mind while never failing to touch the heart.
