520			_aIn this student-friendly introduction to the Gospel of John, Ruth B. Edwards illuminates the biblical text's content, interpretation, and historical reception. What is the purpose of John's Gospel? How does John relate to the religious thought of its day? What is distinctive about its message? How does it speak to our world today? Is it anti-Semitic? Edwards expertly guides readers through such questions, helping those interested in this provocative, sometimes enigmatic Gospel to discover the answers for themselves. (Back cover).
