The Gospel Of St. John: The Story Of The Son Of God (Classic Bible Series)

Product Description With words that echo the Old Testament story of creation, St. John sets his story of Christ in the cosmic framework of Gods plan to save the world from the power of darkness. More than any other gospel writer, John illuminated the life of Jesus in an interesting way. In this book, Johns gospel is presented along with commentary from well-known Biblical scholars and a foreword by Piers Paul Read. From Library Journal Armed with forewords by the likes of John Updike and Desmond Tutu, this splendid new series re-introduces the Bible through its pervasive cultural presence. Each volume includes an informative and well-written introduction to the meaning of scripture in the works of Handel, Joseph Conrad, and many others, followed by selections from the Authorized Version. While this approach may be too literary for some readers, the series ought to remind many of the joy and profit to be found in these ancient writings and of their immeasurable influence from their own day to ours. Highly recommended. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
