2024 Topic The Maverick Gospel of John
From the instructor, Helen Mathis:
What makes the Gospel of John so different from the other three gospels in our New Testament? What kind of community was behind this Gospel? What can we learn about the Beloved Disciple? We will explore some of the many prominent themes in this brilliant Gospel, tap into its deep spirituality and wisdom, and find resonance with our own times.
