The Gospel of John has been the subject of intense scrutiny for
centuries. It has profoundly shaped Christian doctrine and inspired
artists, musicians, theoligans and ordinary Christians. Despite the
Gospel's ability to communicate the good news to the simple
believer while plumbing the depths of Christian faith for the
sophisticated, it has been sharply criticised as 'world-denying',
'androcentric' and 'anti-Jewish'. What should we make of a Gospel
that provokes such diverse reactions? Does John still have meaning
for the Church and contemporary society? Does it need to be
reinterpreted for today's world? Is it anti-Semitic? In this
masterly study, Ruth Edwards seeks to help those interested in this
provocative Gospel decide for themselves the answers to these and
other questions. "Ruth Edwards has written a lucid and concise
introduction to the Gospel of John. Her book manages to condense a
generation of scholarship into a highly readable account which will
be a great boon to all students of this profound if enigmatic
book." Christopher Rowland, Professor of the Exegesis of Holy
Scripture, University of Oxford
