The Gospel Of John: Church And Culture In Conflict

For use as a bible study, with leadership groups or for personal reflection, Pr. Gregg Knepp interweaves commentary, real life ministry stories, and reflection questions designed to challenge, stimulate and provoke the reader. Often considered the most "spiritual" of the Gospels, biblical scholars now recognize the fourth Gospel to be the faithful testimony of an alienated Christian community struggling to maintain its identity in the face of overwhelming opposition. Knepp encourages 21st Century Christians to view the text through the historical lens of the conflict, persecution and social dislocation experienced by the Johannine community. The reader is challenged to delve deeper into the exploration of their faith by wrestling with the text of this intriguing Gospel and its radical implications for daily life.
