Kindling Faith: Theological Education with Adults - A Deep Dive into the Gospel of John

REGISTER

READ THE FLYER

The Gospel of John stands apart from the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) in both style and content. It emphasizes Jesus' divine

nature more explicitly, beginning with the profound theological statement, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God" (John 1:1). John focuses on Jesus' identity as the Son of God through unique "I Am" statements, lengthy discourses,

and symbolic miracles, rather than parables.

The Rev. Dr. Allison deForest serves as the Kraft Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies in New Testament. Her areas of research are John’s

Gospel, Biblical Justice, and Science and Scripture.
