Description

There are many people who do not know what they may safely believe, as many of the claims made by theologians and their creeds seem unrealistic to them. This book is intended to show what may be believed reliably; it does this by examining the Gospel according to John and finding well-founded accounts of what happened.

Many of the problems perceived by others are solved, as it is demonstrated that there was an illiterate informant and a very erudite writer of this Gospel who had a totally different cast of mind. Indeed the writer did not always understand what the informant had said which explains many of the discontinuities, while some events, formerly thought to be totally outside normal human experience, are shown to be explicable after all.

This book also tries to correct age-old misconceptions which have bedevilled relations between Jews and Christians; we not only worship the same God but actually have, effectively the same faith, the only real difference being that the Christian version is a newer development.

Featured Reviews

For someone of a younger generation who has previously read other books focused on understanding religion. This book takes a totally different view on how events took place. It aids the reader in understanding the stories by breaking down some of the more unrealistic claims which have historically been harder to understand. I have found the book helpful in understanding the Gospel of John whilst also finding it interesting to see how it can be described in the modern way of thinking.
