Testament‚ the Gospel of John is the latest-written. In this report I will be analysing this Gospel in both a literary and thematic point of view. “What was John trying to get across?” and “What is the meaning behind Jesus’ miracles?” are two of the key arguments I am going to make. The book of John contains a narrative history about the mystery of the identity of Jesus. Supposedly written by the apostle/disciple John around 85-95 AD‚ the book gives us context of His origin and nature. • John introduces

The Importance of the Logos Christology in the Gospel of John John wrote the immortal words of the Prologue into a desperately troubled world. The Romans held most of the known world in their political grasp. The Greeks had infiltrated every part of Jewish life with their philosophies and ways for over 500 years; the Jewish obsession with ethnic purity divided the race even from itself.

The first action was the washing of the disciples feet‚ recorded in John 13:2-11. The second action‚ which I will not talk much about‚ was the giving of the sop to Judas‚ recorded in John 13:21-30. In each case the action is followed by important teaching. Many wonder why Jesus did these actions. The disciples were preoccupied. They disciples were terrified of the Jewish

In the Gospel of John‚ the Book of Signs was written due to John seen the miracles of Jesus as signs of his heavenly‚ miraculous capabilities (Harris‚ 2014). The seventh and last sign in the Book of Signs‚ was the resuscitation of Lazarus; whereas‚ Jesus had a very dear friend named Lazarus that was very ill.

Is John Written to a Jewish Audience? While there is certainly debate about whether or not Jews were the primary audience for the gospel of John‚ there are many who do believe that John is the most Jewish of the four gospels. For example‚ Steve Wertheim‚ of Jews for Jesus related the following observation: “Not only is John ’s gospel written for evangelism‚ it seems to be written particularly for Jewish evangelism.

The Gospel of John selects only seven miracles as signs to demonstrate the deity of Christ and to illustrate His ministry. Some of these signs and stories are found only in John.

There are certain words or phrases that John frequently uses that show the repeating themes of his Gospel: believe
