In The Beginning Was The Word

John 1:1

 

The fourth Gospel presents a strikingly different picture of Jesus from that of the other three Gospels. The formative issue for the Gospel of John seems to have been the question: Who is Jesus? And indeed, the Gospel does provide answers to this fundamental and essential question. St John, in his beautiful and poetic language, offers the reader many opportunities to discover Jesus for himself or herself.
