About this listen

The Jewish Gospel of John is not, by any standard, another book on Jesus of Nazareth written from a Jewish perspective. It is an invitation to the listener to put aside their traditional understanding of the Gospel of John and to replace it with another one more faithful to the original text perspective. The Jesus that will emerge will provoke you to rethink most of what you knew about this gospel.

The book is a well-rounded, verse-by-verse rethinking of the fourth gospel. Here is the catch: Instead of treating it as if it was written for 21st-century Gentile Christians, the book interprets it as if it was written for the first-century peoples of ancient Israel.

The book proves what Krister Stendahl stated long time ago: "Our vision is often more abstracted by what we think we know than by our lack of knowledge." Other than challenging the long-held interpretations of well-known stories, the author, with the skill of an experienced tour guide, puts us in the place of those who most probably heard this gospel read in the late first century. Such exploration of a variety of important contexts allows us to recover for our generation the true riches of this marvelous Judean gospel.

Revelatory work

May it truly bring about the reform hoped by author, this is an amazing eye-opening work for Christians, especially those Christians in the Western World who are trying to truly understand the context with which the New Testament and the Old Testament were written, those hoping to gain a greater contextual understanding of God's word and his Revelation to mankind.

Powerful Perspective

So much of the traditions we hold the reading of John is based on assumptions that were not present when it was written. The author takes us back in time to the original context and opens our eyes to what the original audience would have heard. The epilog has very deep meaning in light of 10/7/23.

Discover more of John in insightful presentation.

The depth of discover is amazing. Eli gives a unique and talented and powerful reading with commentary that puts you right there in Jesus life and death and resurrection and ascension that will lift you up and renew your mind just that much more. As a graduate of Dallas Seminary and over 30 years a pastor, I highly recommend this work of inspiration. His accent adds a special chacteristic that will bless.
