Guide to John
From RationalWiki
John is the fourth book of the New Testament of the Bible, the gospel following Luke. It was the last gospel to be written, and therefore it has the highest Christology. None of the synoptic gospels hint that Jesus is God. The gospel of John does so in several passages, equating the Word who became flesh with God, having Jews attempt to kill him for his attempted apotheosis, having Jesus call himself "I AM", and having St. Thomas fall to his knees, calling Jesus, "My Lord and my God".
John is written not so much as an exhaustive biographical narrative, but a collection of incidents strung together to make a set of theological points.
