For eight months he didn’t read anything else. It was a spiritual journey for him. He notes how the Holy Spirit opened up new meaning for him, and so these meditations are the fruit of that labor of the Spirit in Johnson’s life. He therefore produces what is in essence a Quaker commentary on the Gospel of John. He covers virtually every passage in the gospel, beginning with the Prologue (chapter 1 in John), continuing with the conversations with Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman (chapters 3 and 4), moving on to the Feeding of the 5,000 (chapter 6), the miracle of healing the man born blind (chapter 9), the raising of Lazarus (chapter 11), the Farewell Discourses (chapters 13–17), the trial before Pilate (chapters 18–19), and the Resurrection accounts, which include the miraculous catch of fish and the fireside chat with Peter (chapter 21). And he reads these passages in the company of early Friends as well as modern mystical writers such as Thomas Merton. (Unfortunately, the vast majority of the people he quotes are male.) This book is Christocentric but from a universalistic bent. [Professor Michael Willett Newheart]. ( ) John’s gospel on Jesus opens up a new spiritual world that concentrates on our being in the here and now. Jesus demolishes religious, cultural, and gender walls to reveal a way of being that transcends these regulations. The spirituality of Jesus is eternal and universal and is of the heart, not of buildings and doctrines. It is time to recover the wonderful impact of Jesus’ teachings anew. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In 2006¿7 I was led to read the Gospel of John, verse by verse. For eight months I read nothing else, and the Spirit took me through the Gospel, opening its meaning for me. This experience convinced me that the Gospel is not just a record of Jesus¿ ministry; it is also a consummate guide to the spiritual life. The reader starts at the beginning and progressively enters more and more deeply into a relationship of holy faithfulness with Jesus. John¿s Gospel on Jesus opens up a new spiritual world that concentrates on our being in the here and now. Jesus demolishes religious, cultural, and gender walls to reveal a way of being that transcends these regulations. The spirituality of Jesus is eternal and universal and is of the heart, not of buildings and doctrines. This was clearly stated by the Apostle Peter speaking about Jesus¿ ministry in The Inclusive Bible (TIB): I begin to see how true it is that God shows no partiality¿rather, that any person of any nationality who fears God, and does what is right is acceptable to God. (Acts 10:34¿35). It is time to recover the wonderful impact of Jesus¿ teachings anew. The narrative of Jesus¿ ministry in the Gospel According to John forms a very clear teaching about the spiritual life. For many, this sequence parallels the spiritual lessons and changes we each go through. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
