Mystical Gospel of John
The Gospel of John is often regarded as a mystical text. Unfortunately, the word mystical can be a source of confusion for many in the modern Western Church.
This study on John through a mystical lens aims to shed light on various aspects of Jewish and later Christian mysticism and how they harmonize seamlessly with the Gospel of John.
Mystics are captivated by the essence of reality and often seek to perceive, with the mind, the mysteries beyond our ordinary sight.
The Gospel of John is a window into the reality of God's cosmos with Jesus as the Son of Man, who is now reigning over his eternal kingdom.
This study will explore the profound ways John communicates this powerful message.
Join us as we embark on a journey to demystify the mystical and reveal how John's Gospel communicates the profound message of who Jesus truly is.
