Fortress biblical preaching commentaries

Summary

Karoline Lewis draws together the strengths of two exegetical approaches, to the Gospel of John in this volume of the Fortress Biblical Preaching Commentaries series. Lewis takes a broad thematic, approach to the Gospel, while at the same time giving exegetical and homiletical insights about individual pericopes. With attention to both liturgical interpretation and exegetical analysis, Lewis provides a unique preaching resource, that will build biblical literacy, by assisting both preachers and listeners in understanding John's Gospel as a whole, not just a collection of vaguely related stories. Those who peruse these pages will, discover anew how John's story of Jesus shapes and gives worth, to being a disciple for the sake of the world God loves. In other words, the intent of this commentary is to invite the reader into an encounter with the Jesus of John's Gospel. Such an encounter witnesses, to how an experience of the Jesus of John actually matters. Readers, preachers, and their parishioners will, have a deeper appreciation of the book's unique interpretation of the Christ event and how that influences their approach, to living the Christian faith in today's world
