Course Overview

Write your awesome label here.
Taught by Dr. Jim Cassidy, this course is an overview of the Gospel of John. It is geared toward adults and could be used in a Sunday school class or in a Bible study. As an overview, the course will leave most details uncovered. However, its purpose is to give students key themes in John’s Gospel (e.g., truth) which will help them in their interpretation of the book as a whole. In addition, the material is intended to be edifying, showing the centrality of Christ in all of Scripture. With this course, students will—by God’s grace—be made to grow in the knowledge of who Jesus is and what he came to do. This, in turn, will equip students to share Christ more clearly and effectively with others.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Understand the concept of "truth" as presented in the Gospel of John, particularly how it relates to the person of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of Old Testament types and shadows.
Analyze the theological and historical context of the Gospel of John, considering its authorship, purpose, and the depiction of Jesus as the eternal Logos.
Evaluate the significance of John's portrayal of Jesus as the true light and life, and how this contrasts with other interpretations, such as those of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Apply John’s purpose statement in John 20:31 to their own devotional life, defense of the faith, and sharing of the gospel.
