Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In "John Overview", Steve Gregg presents a thorough examination of the Gospel of John, highlighting its differences from the other synoptic gospels, such as its philosophical and theological nature and emphasis on Jesus' divinity. While the author of the Gospel of John is not explicitly named, it is believed to be one of the twelve disciples and likely someone with connections to the high priestly family. The overall purpose of the gospel is to provide evidence that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and to inspire belief in him as the way to eternal life.
