John - Introduction

Gospel of JohnSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg introduces the Gospel of John, describing it as a favorite among Christians, and notes that it differs significantly from the synoptic gospels in its content and structure. He also discusses the authorship of the gospel, arguing that it is likely the work of the apostle John, and presents evidence from the text itself and from early church traditions to support his claim. Gregg's analysis is informed by his commitment to a traditional understanding of the gospel's origins and reliability.
