One of Australia's well-respected scripture theologians, Mary L. Coloe, brings the world of the gospels to life in this addition to the Friendly Guide series of books.
In this guide, Coloe explains how John has selected and shaped this material differently: where the Synoptic Gospels work from a theological framework of sin and atonement, John speaks of life and eternity life. This is an alternative approach to the meaning of Jesus' life, death and rising. Coloe explores John's positive message that affirms life, and speaks to the heart of human desires today.
