Combined with interdisciplinary approach, author Abigail Ann Young offers a new approach to
studying the Bible
TORONTO, Oct. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Often called the
"spiritual gospel," the book of John offers a unique portrayal of
Jesus Christ. After studying the
gospel in her doctoral thesis and understanding the importance of
John, Author Abigail Ann Young continues to turn her devotion to
the book by sharing her new publication, "Come and See: A
Beginner's Guide to the Fourth Gospel."
"I want my book to invite readers to
participate their hearts and minds," Young said. "Proposing a space
for self-examination, growth, and transformation through the
storytelling of John and their encounter to the deep effect the
book may have on their life as it has done to mine."
Readers start with a short introduction to the fourth gospel and
its context, followed by a beginner's commentary on John. The guide
intends to be used as a study of the gospel by providing everything
a reader may need for a preliminary study of John while inviting a
deeper reading of the text.
"If you're new to Christianity or exploring spiritual questions,
this book provides a friendly introduction to John and the Bible,"
Young said. "It doesn't assume prior knowledge or faith, making it
a great starting point for anyone curious about the person of
Jesus Christ and His teachings."
Through guided questions, reflections, and historical insights,
the book encourages both individual and group study, making it an
ideal companion for Bible study groups, church classes, or personal
exploration, proving to be more than an academic book, but an open
invitation to experience the potential power of the gospel of
John.
"I want my book to invite readers to participate their hearts
and minds," Young said. "Proposing a space for self-examination,
growth, and transformation through the storytelling of John and
their encounter to the deep effect the book may have on their life
as it has done to mine."
