Description
The first and last of the apostles, John witnessed the death of Christ, the birth of the church, and the rise of heresies. As the cousin and beloved disciple of Jesus, John knew the truth about the Lord as did no other person on earth and he penned his gospel to make that truth clear. With profound simplicity, he confronts us with the Lord's deity, and he portrays to us Christ's glory, but he never lets us forget Jesus's humanity. Dr. Phillips's writing has both substance and style appropriate for the scholar and the layman.
