Publisher's Synopsis
The Signs of Jesus' Deity in the Gospel of John provides a concise resource tool for those who minister through preaching, teaching, and leading bible studies around the signs within this important Christian teaching.
Do the miracles in the gospel of John prove that Jesus of Nazareth is the son of God? In a carefully researched study, a seasoned preacher and teacher examines the signs recorded in the gospel of John, explores whether they provide definitive proof of the deity of Jesus Christ, and analyzes the background of the audience during the period of Jesus as well as that of the implied readers of the gospel.
Dr. Fields explains the text in John's gospel, specifically the passages related to the traditional seven signs and the other nontraditional miraculous signs. He also analyzes the acceptance or lack of acceptance of the signs as reasons for believing in Jesus Christ and considers the post-resurrection perspective of the uniqueness of the signs within the early church and the present-day church. Dr. Fields desires to give honor and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ so that souls may be saved and strengthened in the kingdom of God.
