Summary

While noting John’s several differences from the synoptics, Christopher Skinner shows how John is particularly interested in narrating the life of Jesus within the eternal life of God. It is Jesus’ unique relationship with God which shapes John’s distinctive portrayal of Jesus as the one through whom the hidden God is known.
