Week 03 - The Word Became Flesh (2015)

In this week’s class, we examine John 1:14. We discuss why John uses the word “Word” to describe the son of God before he became flesh. We also learn the importance of and meaning behind the words “flesh” and “became”. This is the incarnation of Christ.

Week 02 - The Importance of John 17 (2015)

In this week's class, we explore why John 17 is so important. The fact that John stops narrating when we get to ch 17, is a huge deal. No editorial comments in jesus’ prayer. None before, during, or after. The big deal is that John is trying to clue us in to something. It's a departure from his normal method of editorial comments for the entire book, up to this point. So why would he do that? Listen and find out.

Week 01 - The Structure of John (2015)

In this first week of the 2015 season, we examine the author and structure of the Gospel of John. The structure of a narrative takes into account two main characteristics: selection and arrangement. Selection refers to what the narrator chooses to include in the narrative. Arrangement refers to how it appears in the story, and where it appears.

And why does John do this? Just like any piece of literature, he has a goal for arranging it how he does. Listen to coming weeks to get a glimpse of what his goal is.
