"This book is a delightful and moving take on the fourth gospel that manages to touch matters of identity, salvation, justice, and peace with a pen that moves both soberly and irenically. Palestinian Christians are painfully well placed to teach the rest of us how to speak truth in love. Katanacho does so here in an accessible volume that belongs on the shelf of every reader of English who cares about the Gospel of John. David A. Baer, PhD Director, Theological Education Initiative Professor, Old Testament & Biblical Languages, Seminario B�blico de Colombia, Medell�n, Colombia Dr Yohanna Katanacho's insightful and accessible commentary on the Gospel of John is a feast of rich theological insight into the apostle's message for his day and our own. A faithful and careful interpreter of the biblical text, Katanacho reads John's story against the backdrop of the apostle's own time and within the setting of the contemporary Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Reading along ancient and contemporary grains, Yohanna Katanacho offers Christians everywhere a fresh vision of the Fourth Gospel's universal message of hope and reconciliation in the one vine, who is Christ Jesus. Gene L. Green, PhD Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Wheaton College and Graduate School, Wheaton, Illinois, USA This book is a reflection on the Gospel of John that is rooted in the Word and relevant to the contemporary world. The insights are profound, provocative, and prophetic! This book deepens our understanding of our identity in Christ and how we, as his followers, ought to embody his love and justice in this world. Theresa Roco-Lua, EdD General Secretary, Asia Theological Association To the sarcastic question, ""Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"" (John 1:46), I answer: ""Yes, a book on biblical interpretation!"" Yohanna Katanacho, a Palestinian Christian, helpfully reminds us that we all read the Bible through perspectives influenced by our respective places and times. Katanacho's reading is his humble and reasonable offering that both derives from and enriches the whole church, a distinct testimony - that of a Palestinian Christian citizen of Israel - to the Jewish Messiah who is Lord and Savior of every tribe and nation. Kevin J. Vanhoozer, PhD Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois, USA"
