The Gospel Of John: An Introduction Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 31, 2021

Arguably with no other book, is there a larger disconnect between academic, scholarly understanding, and the way the church reads it. The intro is designed to bridge part of that gap, and explain my own approach to John.

First of all, a note on my approach: This series uses a literary/narrative approach to John, along the lines proposed by scholars like Adele Berlin, Frank Kermode, Robert Alter, or Charles Talbert, to name just a few. I assume that the author/narrator of John-- who I call "AJ"-- had ...read more

The Church Of The Open Door

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 25, 2025

There’s no perfect church. Jesus commends a faithful church—Philadelphia—for keeping His Word and not denying His name. The question for us: not “Are we perfect?” but “Are we faithful?”

Have you ever heard this expression before? “If you’re looking for the perfect church, and you find it – if you find the perfect church – well you better not join it because it won’t be perfect anymore.” I love this. And the reason is because no one is perfect, right? There’s no such thing as a ...read more
