John: A Guide for Reflection and Prayer (Daily Bible Commentary)

Perhaps the most popular New Testament book for devotion and contemplation, the Gospel of John provides the Bible's clearest demonstration of who Jesus was and what his life meant. The short, simple sentences from the disciple whom Jesus loved grow in force as they join together to express magnificent themes. Richard Burridge ably unpacks the flow of John's narrative, underscoring that the gospel offers both a clear account of the words and works of Jesus of Nazareth and an awe-inspiring masterpiece of meditation and theological reflection.
