The Gospel of John and Christian origins

Ashton, John 1931-2016 (author.).

Summary: One of the most interesting questions facing New Testament scholars --How did Christianity emerge from Judaism? -- is often addressed in general and indirect terms. John Ashton argues that in the case of the Fourth Gospel, an answer is to be found in the religious experience of the Evangelist himself, who turned from being a practicing Jew to professing a new revelation centered on Christ as the intermediary between God and humanity.
