More Details
The book of John has been known as the beloved gospel because John probes the depth of Christ’s character with a simplicity and majesty that cannot be forgotten. When the earliest theological councils in the fourth and fifth centuries worked to define Christian beliefs, it was John’s gospel that gave critical guidance.
This course on John brings the meaning of John’s gospel into the twenty-first century. You’ll learn about the text itself, explore issues in John’s culture and in ours that help us understand the ultimate meaning of each passage, and discover ways in which the eternal theology of John can be understood and lived out in our modern culture.
This course is supported by the commentary John (NIVAC), authored Gary M. Burge.
All course material—video lectures, readings, pronunciation guides, review questions, and assessments—is available online for study at your own convenience.
