Background of the Book

Overview

The Gospel of John is often the first Gospel given to new Christians, because it’s probably the most straightforward introduction to Jesus. The simplicity of the language also makes John’s Gospel the one most often translated into new languages around the world. However, while John’s Gospel is straightforward, it’s also deep and profound. For Christians, it’s the Gospel that offers a lifetime of ever-increasing complexities concerning the nature and identity of Jesus Christ.
