Love in the Gospel of John: An Exegetical, Theological, and Literary Study

Love in the Gospel of John: An Exegetical, Theological, and Literary Study by Moloney, Francis J. SDB. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780801049286.

The command to love is central to the Gospel of John. Internationally respected scholar Francis Moloney offers a thorough exploration of this theme, focusing not only on Jesuss words but also on his actions. Instead of merely telling people that they must love one another, Jesus acts to make Gods love known and calls all who follow him to do the same. This capstone work on Johns Gospel uses a narrative approach to delve deeply into a theme at the heart of the Fourth Gospel and the life of the Christian church. Uniting rigorous exegesis with theological and pastoral insight, it makes a substantive contribution to contemporary Johannine scholarship.
