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.

It has been stated throughout the Bible (though more specifically mentioned in the book of Revelation) that the Kingdom of God is a place where all of
