Online Course Details    

Who wrote the Fourth Gospel? When, where and why was it written? Who was the intended community? How does John tell the story of Jesus? How does John picture Jesus and portray the disciples? Who are the models of discipleship in this gospel? The Gospel of John presents Christ, right from the beginning, as the tangible reality of God’s plan for the world. The Fourth Gospel speaks about God, creation, and the meaning and message of Jesus Christ. It is hoped that as participants read and reflect on some of the texts in this gospel, they will come to a deeper insight into God’s love for them.
