Description

The Gospel According to St. John presents a theologically profound and symbolically layered account of the life and teaching of Jesus in the enduring language of the King James Version.

Traditionally attributed to John the Apostle, this Gospel differs in tone and structure from the Synoptic accounts, offering extended discourses and sustained reflection on the identity of Christ. It opens with the declaration of the Word made flesh and proceeds to unfold a narrative marked by signs, dialogues, and meditations on light, truth, and eternal life.

The text presents Jesus not only through action but through theological proclamation-emphasising his unity with the Father and his role as revealer and redeemer. It recounts the calling of disciples, the performance of signs, the raising of Lazarus, and the Farewell Discourses in which Jesus prepares his followers for life after his departure. The narrative culminates in the Passion, Resurrection, and post-resurrection appearances, including the restoration of Peter and reflection upon the "Beloved Disciple."

Presented here as a standalone volume in the measured and resonant prose of the 1611 King James translation, this edition preserves a Gospel that has long shaped Christian theology, mysticism, and reflection on the nature of divine incarnation.
