The Fourth Gospel both blesses and betrays. It blesses readers who engage with its message, but it may betray those who read it nonchalantly. The notion that the Fourth Gospel is easy to understand is an enduring myth. This volume takes readers on a heuristic journey to discover the Fourth Gospel's unique theological aspects, problematic historical matters, inimitable literary features, and various interpretive approaches using an accessible format and easy-to-read language. The purpose of this publication is to enable readers to appreciate the Fourth Gospel's wide horizon, so necessary to understand its narratives in their historical and narrative contexts. Like the prologue of the Fourth Gospel that introduces and gives perspective on how readers should approach the rest of the Gospel, similarly, this volume introduces and gives perspective to studies in the Fourth Gospel. The text is divided into three parts, which examine its independent theology and argumentation, various outstanding issues, and its interpretation respectively. This volume is suitable for a wide readership, from Bible study groups to pastors and from undergraduate to graduate students.

Industry Reviews

“Drawing from two decades in the classroom, Riku Tuppurainen organizes his thematic study of the Gospel of John around topics that have proven most helpful to students and explains them with the clarity of a master teacher. And taking his cue from the academy, he orients his readers to some of the scholarly debates about John, including the current preoccupation with reading theories, about which Tuppurainen should be praised for advancing the benefits of an integrated approach.”
—Van Johnson, dean of Master’s Pentecostal Seminary, Toronto
