John for Beginners - A Bible Study for Individual or Group Use (Paperback)

This Bible study invites both new and long-time learners into an intimate and personal exploration of the Gospel of John. While the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke speak directly to the actions and teachings of Jesus, John speaks in more symbolic language that can take us to deeper levels in our own reflection of who Jesus is. Intended as a group-study launching pad for discussion, this commentary can also be used for individual study. Includes questions to encourage reflection, as well as short prayers after each section. Appendix includes "Suggestions for Study Leaders." Because the Gospel of John appears at various places throughout each of the 3-year cycle, this book makes a good study any time for lectionary study groups.
