Book Reviews The Light Has Come: An Exposition of the Fourth Gospel by Lesslie Newbigin Reviewed by Robert P. Mills |
||
Originally published in 1982 and re-released by Eerdmans this year, this non-technical study of Johns gospel was developed over a period of thirty years in the course of which I have been asked to lead Bible studies mostly in the context of the Church of South India. Emerging from the mission field, rather than the academy, this commentary speaks with an uncluttered immediacy to many issues facing modern Western Christians. Often deemed the most theological of the gospels, John has long attracted the devout attention of mystics and scholars. Newbigin mines this treasure yet again, enriching all who understand the Church to be a missionary enterprise. (RPM) |
