Word Disclosed : Preaching The Gospel Of John (Revised)

“While taking account of historical and social dynamics in the setting of John’s community, O’Day offers a subtle but sophisticated literary reading of John to show that the listener must experience the movement of the plot within the text of John in order to understand the text as fully as he can…All preachers should own this book for its specific studies of the passages of John, for its clarity in helping us hear the distinctive Johannine theological voice, and for its model of close reading that can guide a preacher working with almost any text.”
