Conversations with Scripture

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.
