This book examines why that is by addressing the whole range of issues that arise - literary, historical and hermeneutical - from a perspective that takes seriously creedal confession and theological and ecclesiological concerns.
Set in the tumultuous first century C.E., the narrative explores the intense debates surrounding religious truth, particularly with the rise of Christianity and its claims about Jesus. The Gospel of John, composed later in that century, captures this conflict with remarkable clarity, portraying Jesus as both a proclaimer and embodiment of truth. The text raises profound questions about the nature of truth, famously echoed in the dialogue between Jesus and a Roman magistrate, prompting readers to reflect on the complexities of belief and understanding.
