Course Info

The image of Jesus (Yeshua) presented in these exciting audio sessions provokes listeners to rethink what they thought they knew about this gospel. Instead of interpreting John’s gospel as if it were written for 21st-century Gentile Christians, this audio course presents John as a message written for a first-century Samaritan audience.  Best of all, you can enjoy these sessions anywhere and anytime – even on the go!

    It is scarcely fair to ask for a comment when only part way through a complete subject when only the initial segment of the book of John is under consideration.

    It is very interesting but I have trouble following it. I wish I had all the books that he refers to, passages I mean, in front of me. I get lost and when he returns to the bible my attention gets focused again. Well it is a bit overwhelming but lets continue.
