Description
The Gospel ofJohn was written at a much later date than the first three Gospels. Truth had been perverted and the deity of Christ had been questioned. God laid His hand upon John to write the fourth Gospel to counteract this heresy, that all the peoples of the world might hear that Jesus is the Son of God. The purpose is stated clearly in John 20:30-31: "And many orher signs truly didJesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that . . . ye might have life through His name."

Summary
LIFE - the primary instinct of every human being... How dearly we cling to it at all cost! How we hope for a full and happy life! How we wish it would never end! The gospel of John has the secret - not only of life, but of life after death - eternal, everlasting life! This volume explores the Book of John, often called the Bibles most "beloved book." Like all Dr. Blair's writings, there is a tender gospel emphasis throughout, plus a gentle but inescapable challenge to commitment for the Christian reader.

Excerpt
Someone has said that the Gospel of John is "the greatest Book in the world." Another has declared it to be "the greatest love story ever told." No one would dare surmise how many lives have been drawn to Christ and transformed by this Gospel. Before his conversion, John, the son of Zebedee, the brother ofJames, had been a rugged fisherman casting nets on the Sea of Galilee. Though not named in the narrative, he simply refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." This does not denote pride, but rather deep humiliation. It was the profound exaltation of the love of God which had drawn the wayward John to the Lord Jesus. John never ceased to marvel at this love which had changed his life completely.
