The Jewish Gospel of John III: The Exile and Return

Professor

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Jewish Gospel of John is an invitation to the reader to put aside their traditional understanding of the Gospel of John and to replace it with another one more faithful to the original text perspective. The Jesus that will emerge will provoke to rethink most of what you knew about this gospel. Other than challenging the long-held interpretations of well-known stories, the author with the skill of an experienced tour guide, takes us to a seat within those who most probably heard this gospel read in the late first century. This mini-course covers chapters 14-21 of John’s Gospel.
