Book of JohnOverview, summary & 21 chapters

John presents a profound theological interpretation of Jesus Christ as the divine Word incarnate whose glory manifests through signs, extended discourses, and ultimately His "glorification" through crucifixion and resurrection. Distinct from the Synoptic Gospels in both structure and content, John's account combines eyewitness historical memory with penetrating spiritual reflection to reveal Jesus' divine identity and redemptive purpose while calling readers to believing response that brings eternal life.
