The Gospel of John

by Francis Martin, William M. Wright, Tom Parks (Read by), Peter S. Williamson (Editor), Mary Healy (Editor)

Overview

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 followers 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 listeners understand the Bible more deeply and use it more effectively in teaching, preaching, evangelization, and other forms of ministry.
