A Complicated Love Story

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Situating the book in a time of tension between a largely Gentile messianic community and a rebuilding Judaism, Shillington considers many of the unusual features and unanswered questions of the Gospel of John. Why does it not name the mother of Jesus? Who is the disciple whom Jesus loved? His gift for translating specialized scholarship for laypeople, combined with his careful, original study of the text, make for a rich and valuable resource.”
