Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scholarly evaluation of the fourth Gospel and Johannine community. For contemporary Christians, Johns Gospel is a paradox. On the one hand, it stresses boundaries: “No one comes to the Father except through me.” But on the other hand, it’s all about community: “I have no longer called you servant, but friends.” Conversations with Scripture: The Gospel of John encourages readers to draw out the tensions between these two perspectives for an open, inclusive reading of this difficult Gospel—and to find in it reaching meaning for their lives. With a study guide that includes thoughtful, challenging questions for reflection and discussion, this is an ideal resource for individual and parish study.
