THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN
PART TWO CHAPTERS 9 TO 21
FR TADROS MALATY
The Gospel according to St. John answers the need of everyone: the simple and the scholar. St. John’s words are extremely simple: hence he appeals to the simple as they find themselves closely drawn and comforted. On the other hand, those with spiritual experience find the opportunity to dive into his writings without ever reaching its depth The Gospel according to St. John attracted the heart of the early Church and lifted it to perceive the sublime divine mysteries. This is the result of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Moreover, St. John uses a style that is spiritually attractive and which is far removed from difficult philosophical terms or dry theological language.
