Publisher description
Some Bible commentaries seem to assume that the reader is fluent in Ancient Greek or Hebrew, which is fine if you are an academic. Other, let's put it delicately, are a little unchallenging.Welcome therefore the Conversation with...series - straight down the middle commentaries for group or individual use, that do not talk up or down, but tell you what you need to know.Produced in association with the Anglican Association of Biblical Scholars, these will actually appeal to Christians of most denominations, and all have a great series design which looks great on the bookshelf in your store or website.This volume is on "John's Gospel". For contemporary Christians, "John's Gospel" is a paradox. On the one hand, it stresses boundaries: "No one comes to the Father except through me, " while on the other it stresses community: "I have no longer called you servants, but friends." Here, Kittredge examines John from both an inclusive and an exclusive perspective, encouraging readers to draw out the tensions between these two perspectives to make the gospel more meaningful to their lives
