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."
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."
