Re-reading the Gospel of John : Invitation to a 6-Month Journey in a Group with a Guidebook
The Gospel of John is profound, intriguing, fascinating, and mysterious.
One of the most insightful and gripping attempts to do it justice is Prof David Ford’s The Gospel of John – A Theological Commentary published two years ago.
Unlike most commentaries, this can be read as literature. The style is conversational: it works not verse by verse, but chapter by chapter. You can read a review of Prof Ford’s book in Church Times.
Over six months we will read a chapter per week of David Ford’s commentary and meet on-line once a week to discuss it with fellow learners for an hour.
Comments from 2023/24
“The Gospel of John discussions became something of a focal point around which my week was orientated. Each interesting and enlightening discussion took place in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere under the expert guidance of our group leader, and I look forward to doing something similar again soon.”

“The weekly discussion sessions on Ford’s commentary have been a rich opportunity in which to explore our individual and group thoughts and responses. The meetings have provided a safe and supportive context for careful listening and deep sharing.”
