Johannine Literature
In this unit we look at John’s gospel and the three Johannine epistles, where we receive an intimate perspective on the life of Christ and its personal impact on our lives. Within the fourth gospel we find some of the most profound theological statements concerning the person of Christ. The opening chapters tell of the logos, the Word who became flesh, God among us. These bold statements are echoed in the words of Jesus Himself, proclaiming His divinity with the“I Am” statements.
