John's Gospel has inspired biblical scholarship, profound music, theology, penetrating literature, ecclesial and liturgical transformation, and new angles on contemporary existential crises. Here those multiple expert voices are heard, and the reader is invited into a conversation that promises to engage, enlighten, and enliven. --Phillip Aspinall, Archbishop, Brisbane This is a truly interdisciplinary volume, with essays that are at once explicatory, creative, and practical. Exegesis grounds historical interpretations that illuminate modern readings in essays that will appeal to academics and clergy as well as a more general readership. The editors have brought practical theology alongside biblical and historical scholarship to show how the Gospel of John can critically engage contemporary cultural issues. --Richard Ascough, Queen's University
