Examines the themes, concepts and theology of John in his gospel, his letters, and in Revelation. Writing on a Biblical subject can be a major test for a Systematic theologian for it will reveal the quality of his Biblical exegesis and so whether his theology is likely to be faithful to Scripture. Here Robert Reymond, a major American Systematic theologian, passes this test with flying colours. This is a most valuable study of the doctrinal content of five New Testament books. He has a direct, unfussy style, quickly gets to the heart of each issue, marshals his arguments with admirable clarity, and shows deep concern that the witness of John to Christ should be taken with real seriousness. Geoffrey Grogan, Glasgow Bible College Having whetted our appetite with his excellent book Paul - Missionary Theologian we are now further debt through the publication of this work. Reymond is a significant scholar but above all he is a biblical theologian. Indeed, he is quite prepared to be critical of tradition if he believes that the biblical evidence justifies it. The result of painstaking study and yet accessible to all who have a serious interest in Scripture. |
