Publisher's Summary
The Jewish Gospel of John is not, by any standard, another book on Jesus of Nazareth written from a Jewish perspective. It is an invitation to the listener to put aside their traditional understanding of the Gospel of John and to replace it with another one more faithful to the original text perspective. The Jesus that will emerge will provoke you to rethink most of what you knew about this gospel.
The book is a well-rounded, verse-by-verse rethinking of the fourth gospel. Here is the catch: Instead of treating it as if it was written for 21st-century Gentile Christians, the book interprets it as if it was written for the first-century peoples of ancient Israel.
The book proves what Krister Stendahl stated long time ago: "Our vision is often more abstracted by what we think we know than by our lack of knowledge." Other than challenging the long-held interpretations of well-known stories, the author, with the skill of an experienced tour guide, puts us in the place of those who most probably heard this gospel read in the late first century. Such exploration of a variety of important contexts allows us to recover for our generation the true riches of this marvelous Judean gospel.

Wonderful book
This book is already very precious to me! I plan on listening to it over and over again!
My parents raised me in such a way that I did not know racism. We loved all cultures, and celebrated them. Ours is British on my Mum’s side and Scottish on my Dads. As a family heritage through my great grandfather, we started out in the PAOC, then to the Baptist church, then back to the PAOC. Most prominently Calvary Temple in Winnipeg, Pastor H H Barber. Calvary Temple was the church that I remember most, and the most fondly. The Jewish people were regarded as our adoptive family, that we became apart of through adoption through Jesus Christ the book of Ephesians comes to mind.
It wasn’t until much later in my life that I encountered Christians who held antisemitic views. I was shocked.
My mother especially used words that gave me a heart toward those of Israel such that I have always been thrilled to meet and know these dear people of God.
This book is good scholarship for one of my favourite books in the Bible. And I love the things Dr. Eli points out.
I felt close to Jesus, his people, and to our father as I listened.
