Publisher's Description

• An important resource for preaching on the 4th Gospel • Helps preachers to draw out urgent and pressing themes from a Gospel which can often feel esoteric and irrelevant • Useful for the huge number of Catholic and Anglican preachers who follow the Revised Common Lectionary (in which the gospel appears in all three years of the cycle). • Draws heavily on Lectio Divina, a form of prayerful reading of scripture which is familiar to Christians across all traditions

Editorial Reviews

"This timely and compelling book is an inspiration for anyone concerned with connecting spirituality, ecology and social justice. The author brings John's Gospel to life in a way that is fresh, creative and desperately needed for the Christian community as the challenge facing our common home continues to escalate. By tying this into the liturgical life of the church, the book both enters into its dynamic, but also allows it to be transformed." -- Celia Deane-Drummond, Campion Hall, Oxford

This book is a taonga (treasure) which should grace every preacher’s shelves. Its profound insights into the depths of John’s Gospel flow from careful scholarship, concern for justice and care of creation and a deep, ecumenical love for God’s church. Kathleen’s love of Scripture, the earth, people and the church is lived every day in the city we live in. It is a joy to see this love shared with the world God loves through this taonga of the written word. -- Bishop Peter Carrell, Anglican Diocese of Christchurch

I highly recommend this book. It is traditional as it builds on the solid studies of Brown, Moloney, and others. It traditionally follows the lectio divina style which flows into contemplation and action. It innovatively treats two overlooked themes: care of the earth and of the marginalized. This book will grab your conscience, warm your heart, and impel you into the world to complete God's works. -- Robert J. Karris, St. Bonaventure University, USA
