Jousting with John

Mehr zum Buch

The Gospel of John captivates readers with its rich imagery and uplifting narratives, particularly highlighting the empowering roles of women like the Samaritan woman, the Bethany sisters, and Mary Magdalene in the early church. However, it also presents troubling themes, including a negative portrayal of Jews, which has contributed to a long history of anti-Judaism and antisemitism. This duality invites reflection on both the inspiring and disturbing elements of its message.
