The Gospel of John (Volume I)

James David Audlin

4.9/5 (25953 ratings)

Description:This is the only narrative about Jesus by eyewitnesses: the Beloved Disciple and the gifted scholar John the Presbyter. It is also one of the world's greatest literary works, modelled on classical Greek theatre and philosophy, but soaring above them in its own new genre. The original work was never completed before the author was arrestedand sent into exile. For safekeeping, his friends sent the unfinished manuscript to far-away Pontus. But, even there, the hand of Rome nearly destroyed it. A foolish young man named Marcion rescued it, and had the sense to put it into the hands of the Presbyter's spiritual heirs, and they published it. Never completed, the original work was sent for safekeeping to distant Sinope when the author was exiled. But, even there, the hand of Rome nearly destroyed it. Rescued 35 years later, the Presbyter's spiritual heirs published it. While in Sinope some pages got lost or disordered. After publication various editors changed the manuscript repeatedly to suit the changing doctrines of early Christianity, even adding spurious new material. Thus the standard text is an inspiring mess, but still a mess. This translation restores not the unfinished original text, but the masterpiece the Presbyter sought to compose. We gain a clear first-hand account of a real man sent by God to urge humanity to accept God's will, a narrative set down before creeds and doctrines repackaged him as an incarnate deity. Volume One contains the carefully restored text in English and Greek, and a history of how the gospel was written, nearly lost to the world several times, and finally published. Volume Two includes detailed commentaries that burnish this masterpiece for the modern reader.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
