Description

The Gospel of John is the most deeply spiritual of the four gospels. This writing is filled with rich images and profound truths, but John notes that his aim in writing the gospel is that readers will not only believe in Jesus Christ, but that they "may have life in his name." Adults, youth, and children alike can experience a season of spiritual growth and life-changing renewal in Adam Hamilton's six-week, DVD-series, John: The Gospel of Light and Life. You'll follow the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus through the Gospel of John and understand the context of some of the best-known verses in the New Testament. Everything you need to lead small groups of all ages is available for this special study including the entire Gospel of John in the CEB translation printed in the book.… (more)

A very good, basic discussion of the Gospel of John. Includes some very good points connecting Jesus to facts in the Old Testament.

I read this book in conjunction with a Bible study that I facilitated on it. We also used the accompanying DVD, which I thought was not as good as some of his other DVD's. The book, though, is very good and is typical of what I have come to expect from Hamilton. It is generally solid theology with

good historical and literary contextuality and tinged with his evangelical/charismatic background which gives it a little something extra. His discussions are frank, his questions are thought provoking and the addition of the text of John's gospel in CEB format after each chapter was a great idea.
