John

by N. T. Wright, Kristie Berglund (Contribution by)

Overview

An Accessible, Trustworthy Bible Study Guide for Any Group

When you read detective stories, you quickly learn that what may look like an irrelevant little detail may actually be the clue to solving the mystery. A good writer will put in all kinds of detail; nothing is there by accident. Nothing in John's Gospel is there by accident either. And all the details in John are designed ultimately to come together. In these studies we discover the clues John gives that we might see even more clearly the reality of who Jesus is, the new creation he inaugurates and the difference that all makes.

In this Bible study guide, readers will find:

• Practical, accessible studies spanning John's gospel that readers of any level of familiarity with the Bible can find value in,
• Trustworthy perspectives that nonetheless challenge seasoned Christians and new believers alike to reconsider old perspectives, and
• Discussion questions to jumpstart group conversations and community study.
