Book Synopsis

A Mystical Portrait of Jesus: New Perspectives on John's Gospel pays close attention to scientific biblical study but goes beyond it to highlight the spiritually nourishing symbolic message of the Fourth Gospel. By beginning with a study of John's passion narrative, the author discovers the guiding principle of this Gospel and then makes some surprising discoveries about the dangers of religious ritual and the promise of a richly rewarding mystical experience for all Christians.
