Progress on the Gospel of John - The Gospel of Faith: From the Disciple Jesus Loved

 Norma A. Boeckler


I am working with some speed on the Gospel of John book, tentatively titled - The Gospel of Faith: From the Disciple Jesus Loved.

The stages are -

  1. Basic introductions to each section of each chapter throughout the Gospel. Complete text - KJV.
  2. Illustrations in color by Norma A. Boeckler.
  3. Footnotes for some of the finer details, such as Greek terms.
  4. Probably 100 to 130 pages, full-color. Author's price $10-11.
The Greek class last year featured the entire Gospel of John in Greek, which we translated and discussed each Thursday. The class suggested a book about the Fourth Gospel, so this is it.

This is not a commentary along the lines of Lenski. It is not the last word on the Fourth Gospel. But it may serve as a first word - for people who want to read through this simple but profound Gospel from the disciple closest to Jesus.

My friend, whose name I cannot divulge, suggested John as "the doctrinal Gospel" when I mentioned it as the Gospel of Faith or the Gospel of Love. For that reason there are notes about doctrinal issues and now they are addressed in the Gospel.
