Show Notes

The Gospel of John, traditionally linked to Jesus' disciple John the Apostle, offers a fresh perspective on Jesus' life and teachings. Likely written between 90 and 110 AD, the Gospel emphasizes Jesus' divinity as the pre-existent Word made flesh. John aims to strengthen the faith of believers and counter growing tensions between Christians and Judaism.

 

This Gospel also addresses contemporary questions and heresies. It highlights the importance of love and unity within the Christian community. John's portrayal of his own close relationship with Jesus, from the time of John the Baptist to the crucifixion, offers unique insights into Jesus' character and teachings. John's Gospel serves as a profound theological reflection on Jesus, deepening faith, presenting him as the divine Son of God, and offering a model for Christian discipleship.
