The Gospel of John has long been understood as a sectarian text,
one that reinforces the social and religious isolation of a
Johannine community. Savior of the World: A Theology of the
Universal Gospel directly challenges this reading, arguing that
John's Jesus does not belong to just one community. John's Jesus
came for all and spans the universe. In Savior of the World, Carlos
Raul Sosa Siliezar carefully reconsiders the often-overlooked
passages and motifs that emphasize Jesus as a figure of universal
significance and as universal Savior. John's introduction of Jesus
as the Word sets the stage for universal language by identifying
Jesus as the rightful owner of all creation. Sosa Siliezar
emphasizes that John's Jesus, in his public ministry, offers an
all-inclusive love of God to anyone who will receive it. In his
private ministry, Jesus bears witness to a nuanced world, tasking
his disciples with preaching and expanding the love of Christ to
all. Jesus' all-embracing mission is sustained by the Spirit, who
models, through the disciples, the reality and promise of the world
that is to come. Sosa Siliezar shows how John, though deeply
indebted to Judaism, crafts a universal Gospel precisely because
his Jesus is deeply rooted in the particularity of monotheism. John
portrays Jesus, a Jew from Nazareth, as the world's Savior, the one
sent by the one God to bring light into a universe of darkness.
