Meeting St. John Today: Understanding the Man, His Mission, and His Message

John's Gospel is a literary and theological masterpiece-but therein lays the problem for many people in the pew.

Harrington, SJ, offers a clear, concise, and respectful presentation of this rich Gospel while bridging the gap between modern biblical scholarship and Christian spirituality. This quick-moving book includes, among other topics, a look at the historical setting of John's Gospel, a narrative analysis of the Gospel, and an overview of its theological message.
