The Gospel of St. John

| Summary |
"The Gospel of St. John" by Joseph MacRory is a critical and explanatory commentary on one of the New Testament Gospels, likely written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on elucidating the theological and literary aspects of the Gospel attributed to St. John, targeting students and scholars interested in an in-depth understanding of its themes and messages, as well as responding to various interpretations of its authenticity. The main subject revolves around the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the divinity of Christ the Word and the transformative power of belief in Him. The opening of the commentary outlines the author's intentions and the structure of the work. MacRory discusses the necessity of this commentary in response to changes in the curriculum at Maynooth College, highlighting the value of a shorter, focused text that still provides profound insights into the Fourth Gospel, rather than the extensive analyses of previous scholars. He emphasizes the importance of critical examination and understanding of the Gospel's passages, particularly the central theme that Jesus is the divine Word incarnate, laying the groundwork for the theological exploration that follows through critical notes and interpretations.
