The Gospel of John (Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture)


Book Description

In this addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture, two well-respected New Testament scholars interpret the Gospel of John in its historical and literary setting as well as in light of the Church's doctrinal, liturgical, and spiritual tradition. They unpack the wisdom of the Fourth Gospel for the intellectual and spiritual transformation of its readers and connect the Gospel with a range of witnesses throughout the whole history of Catholicism. This volume, like each in the series, is supplemented by features designed to help readers understand the Bible more deeply and use it more effectively in teaching, preaching, evangelization, and other forms of ministry.

The Miracles of Jesus According to John


Book Description

In our age of theological relativism, Jesus' question to His own disciples continues to ring true: "Who do the people say that the Son of Man is?" Through Jesus' seven miracles and His seven "I Am" sayings, the apostle John provides a clear answer to that all-important question. Furthermore, what do Jesus' miracles represent? Are they designed to point to something or someone? In our "supernatural-crazed" culture that affects even evangelical Christianity, it is refreshing to be reminded that biblical miracles were never arbitrary but were always purposeful, authenticating God's message and His messenger(s). In the Gospel of John, the miracles of Jesus are both Christological, that is, they highlight Jesus' Person, and eschatological, that is, they foreshadow the work the Messiah will do in His future Advent. The miracles remind us that God's desire for every believer is first and foremost a spiritual relationship with Him through His Son. Furthermore, Jesus' miracles also remind us that God's work in and for every believer will be fully and ultimately realized in the everlasting life.




The Bible Knowledge Commentary Gospels


Book Description

Walk with Those Who Walked with Jesus In the Gospels we witness the most crucial turning point in world history and the reason we believe what we do.

The authors also look at difficult or confusing passages, apologetic evidence for these eyewitness accounts, and what we can learn about Christ-like living from observing the life of Jesus. With dozens of visuals and Old Testament cross-references, this commentary is one of the most thorough and theologically sound studies of the Gospels. Journey with Jesus as if for the first time in this detailed look at His life on earth.

The Johannine Discourses and the Teaching of Jesus in the Synoptics


Book Description

Die negative Beurteilung der Authentizität der johanneischen Jesusreden basiert häufig auf der Annahme erheblicher Gegensätze zwischen Johannes und den Synoptikern. Allerdings wurde ein sorgfältiger Vergleich zwischen den Jesusworten des Johannesevangeliums und denen in Matthäus, Markus und Lukas bisher nicht durchgeführt. Vorliegende Studie gelangt durch einen detaillierten Vergleich zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Reden Jesu im vierten Evangelium zwar in einem spezifisch johanneischen Wortlaut formuliert sind, auf inhaltlicher Ebene aber in bedeutendem Maße mit der synoptischen Lehre Jesu übereinstimmen. So lässt sich zeigen, dass die Authentizität der johanneischen Reden nicht aufgrund einer vermeintlichen Unvereinbarkeit mit den Synoptikern in Abrede gestellt werden kann.




Bible Knowledge Commentary


Book Description

Cuneiform records made some three thousand years ago are the basis for this essay on the ideas of death and the afterlife and the story of the flood which were current among the ancient peoples of the Tigro-Euphrates Valley. Following up on his previous volume, The Babylonian Genesis, the author interprets the famous Gilgamesh epic and other related Babylonian and Assyrian documents. He compares them with corresponding portions of the Old Testament in order to determine the inherent historical relationship of Hebrew and Mesopotamian ideas.




John's Use of Ezekiel


Book Description

Scholars have long puzzled over the distinctive themes and sequence of John’s narrative in contrast to the Synoptic Gospels. Brian Neil Peterson now offers a remarkable explanation for some of the most unusual features of John, including the early placement of Jesus’ “cleansing” of the temple, the emphasis on “signs” confirming Jesus’ identity, the prominence of Jesus’ “I Am” sayings, and a number of others. The Fourth Evangelist relied on models, motifs, and even the macrostructure of the Book of Ezekiel.
