Scripture & Ministry

Reading John Among Rivals, Old and New

The Gospel of John cuts across the grain of secular culture in much the same way as it entered into the ancient world—as a text that sets out a striking claim about the presence of the invisible God in the material world. We understand what John is and who it was for by considering how the Gospel works as Scriptural reasoning tailored for those inclined to regard the act of directing worship to a human being as blasphemous. We understand how John still speaks by communicating the Gospel as narrative reasoning tailored for those inclined to regard the act of directing worship to a human being as absurd.
