John for Normal People: A Guide Through the Depth & Drama of the Fourth Gospel

In this thoughtfully researched, playful commentary, Jennifer Garcia Bashaw illuminates the theological world of the Gospel According to John and explores what we might learn about Jesus when we are attentive to the text. Re-creating key passages as theatrical scenes, Bashaw dramatically illustrates John's narrative brilliance and draws on biblical scholarship to explore the stories behind the story.

This commentary unpacks questions of authorship, dating and redaction history, and explores the historical, cultural and social contexts within which the Fourth Gospel was written. But it is through her creative approach to narrative criticism that Bashaw uncovers Jesus as the author of John's Gospel understood him.
