Your Father The Devil?

The book explores the controversial interpretation of John's Gospel, particularly the depiction of Jews as adversaries of Jesus, which has historically fueled antisemitism. It examines key passages, including John 8:44, and challenges the notion that the Gospel demonizes Jews. Instead, the author, Motyer, argues that it presents Jesus as a figure of hope and salvation for Jews, contextualizing the narrative within the late first-century setting. This analysis aims to reframe the understanding of the text and its implications for Jewish-Christian relations.
