CONVERSATIONS WITH SCRIPTURE: THE GOSPEL OF JOHN by CYNTHIA KITTREDGE

On the one hand, it stresses boundaries: No one comes to the Father except through me, while on the other it stresses community: I have no longer called you servants, but friends. Here, readers are encouraged to draw out the tensions between these two perspectives to make the gospel more meaningful to their lives.
