God's Loving Word: Exploring the Gospel of John

Ray Stedman begins this commentary by saying, "The central question of the gospel of John is Who is Jesus? The apostle John answers this question by portraying Jesus as the central figure of human history, and the central focus of God's eternal plan."  And with characteristic clarity and care, Dr. Stedman leads his readers through the life and times of God's loving Word.One of the key books of the entire Bible, the book of John reads like the intimate biography--from the pen of "the disciple whom Jesus loved." God's Loving Word explores the significance of John's gospel verse-by-verse and brings to life the miracles and majesty of Jesus of Nazareth. And when he is through Dr. Stedman concludes: "Here we encounter the crucial fact of the Christian faith:  Christianity is not a philosophy or a body of teachings. Christianity is about a Person. If you take the person of Jesus out of Christianity and leave only His moral teachings, it cannot stand. Christianity at its core is not merely about what Jesus taught, but about who Jesus is."
