SUMMARY:Lecture - David Ford
DESCRIPTION:St. John’s Gospel: A Lifetime’s Study\n\n\n\nVenue:\nSt Mark’s Church\, Leeds Road\, Harrogate (& Zoom option)\nDate:\nSaturday 13th September 2025\, 10.00 – 12.00 noon with breakfast available from 9.30 am\nTickets:\nThis event has now passed\n\n\n\nAfter spending over twenty years on ‘The Gospel of John. A Theological Commentary‘ (2021) and then a few more years on a follow-up ‘Lent Plus’ book\, ‘Meeting God in John: A Companion for Lent\, Holy Week\, Easter\, and Beyond‘ (November 2025)\, I want to share some of the main insights that John has given me. These include seeking answers ro questions such as:  What was John’s aim in writing the Gospel? How should we understand the Prologue? Who is Jesus? What is the meaning of his crucifixion? What are the essential Christian practices taught by Jesus? Can John give us a spirituality for serious times such as ours? How can we share in Jesus’s passionate desire for the unity in love of his followers? How should we read John now? \nSpeaker Bio \nDavid F. Ford OBE is Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus in the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Selwyn College. \nAlongside continuing work on Christian theology and on inter-faith relations\, Professor Ford’s current research includes work on: the Gospel of John; glorification; theology\, modernity and the arts; Scriptural Reasoning; contemporary worldviews; and education in schools and universities. In 2021 Baker Academic published The Gospel of John: A Theological Commentary. \nDavid was born in Dublin and is an Irish citizen. He read Classics at Trinity College Dublin\, and then Theology and Religious Studies in Cambridge\, Yale\, and Tübingen. Prior to taking up his post in Cambridge he taught in the University of Birmingham (1976-1991)\, where he lived in the inner city and engaged in local church and community life and in urban theology.
