John For Today, like the author's earlier best-selling book Paul
for Today, combines fresh accessible scholarship with an
exploration of the gospel's significance for the contemporary
Church and wider world. The Gospel's historical origins,
distinctive features and literary patterns are all helpfully
illuminated, including John's similarities with and differences
from the other Gospels and the much-debated question of the
Gospel's real author. Recent criticisms of the Gospel, such as its
exclusiveness, alleged anti-semitism and predominantly male
characters and language are also examined, together with its
relevance for a turbulent world in which religion has become a
deeply ambivalent phenomenon. The book seeks to be faithful to the
gospel of John in the central position it accords to Jesus, whilst
also relating this controversial gospel to the Christian orthodoxy
of later centuries.It is a book written for the non-specialist
reader, and 'for such a time as this'.
