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.
