John

The Good News that John wrote that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name. (John 20.31)


The video of the Gospel of John is available on Youtube.


The syllabus is provided below in the unit titled Intro. There are also PDFs of the slides, and in some cases a video recording of the study. Also, at the bottom, are books that I have referred to in the class.

This class was taught in person as an adult Bible study on Sundays after the Divine Liturgy at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in St. Augustine, Florida. When the covid pandemic started, we held the class via Zoom. Videos are provided from that point on.
