The Knowable God by Peter Brain

Description

The Knowable God comprises twenty-three self-contained chapters on the
key issues raised and the emphases made in John’s Gospel. It is not a
critical commentary nor a set of devotional meditations; it is rather an
exposition of key episodes, characters and themes, always trying to
interpret the text for our own time. It centres on the fact that John’s
controversial distinctiveness is usually missed in Christian worship,
teaching and belief. Within the New Testament there are several
understandings of Christian faith, of salvation, of the significance of
the cross. John gives us his views on all these, plus the headline
message that it is the incarnation itself which is our salvation. To
understand Christianity we need more than this Gospel – but cannot do
without it.
