Meeting God in John

“An excellent companion to encountering God in the person of Jesus Christ as revealed to us in John’s ‘paschal’ Gospel. Whether used in a group or individually, in the journey through Lent to Easter and beyond or at any time of the year, this volume will help uncover the depths of this profound Gospel, enriching each reader.” – John Behr, Regius Chair in Humanity, University of Aberdeen“Meaty, thought-provoking and hugely discussable, this is a resource for Lent and beyond. Through it you’ll meet Jesus, and your faith will be strengthened.” – Amy Boucher Pye, spiritual director and author of 7 Ways to Pray“In this remarkable study resource an outstanding scholar and theologian distils, in accessible form, not only a lifetime’s reflection and scholarship on the Gospel of John, but also the fruit of a lifetime’s discipleship and attentiveness to the needs of Christian community.” – John McDowell, Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh; Eamon Martin, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh“Ford’s years of scholarship, prayer, meditation and shared reading of the Gospel of John have been distilled with clarity and depth in this book that draws us into encounter with God.” – Jane Williams, McDonald Professor in Christian Theology, St Mellitus College“Meeting God in John offers a masterclass Bible Study, a deeply moving devotional meditation, and a rich group experience all focused on encounter with Jesus… An amazing journey into the heart of God led by an extraordinarily inspiring guide.” – Paul S Williams, Chief Executive, Bible Society
