Publisher's Synopsis
This commentary is not based on other commentaries. It is an attempt to dare to see Jesus as he said he is. Care has been taken to remain monotheistic. Liberty has been taken to view women as equal to men, something that hasn't been successfully done in any culture since Jesus walked the earth. We have dared to look with fresh eyes at the Bible, especially the gospel of John, and assume nothing that is based solely on Christian tradition. This is a view--there are many views. This one demands thinking and challenges the way we have been influenced to think about the Bible. You may not agree with everything you read here, but if you read the entire commentary, you will never read the Bible the same again. Interestingly, the very first word Jesus said in his public ministry was the Greek word that means change your thinking.
