Throughout Christian history, the Gospel of John's distinctive way of presenting the life, works, teachings, and death of Jesus have earned it labels such as "the spiritual gospel" and "the maverick gospel." It has been seen as the most theological of the four canonical gospels. In this volume Richard Bauckham, a leading biblical scholar and a bestselling author in the academy, illuminates several main theological themes of the Gospel of John. Bauckham provides insightful analysis of key texts, covering topics such as divine and human community, God's glory, the cross and the resurrection, and the sacraments. This work will serve as an ideal supplemental text for professors and students in a John course or a Gospels course. It will also be of interest to New Testament scholars and theologians.
