A brief review of the book:
John: Loving Jesus and Keeping His Word
Keynote:
This book is a contextual commentary with serious yet relevant, relatable reflections on each given text promoting the pictorial description and understanding of the Gospel.
Somehow, we have encountered each other in the course of life for various reasons, embracing and carrying a friendly memory on us that comes along with our footsteps that we leave behind serving Jesus near and far.
Therefore, I would like to take an opportunity of inviting you to a book publication that may be beneficial to your spiritual growth.
Four distinctive individuals have endorsed the book for potential readers to purse for a deeper understanding of the Gospel of John and for a closer relationship with Jesus, our “Teacher and Lord” as they continue in his word.
The passion of Paul Lee for Jesus drove him to write John: Loving Jesus and Keeping His Word. Here is one of the most profound reflections on the Gospel of John in our time. Thoroughly researched and written in Lee’s distinct voice, this is a book I wish I had on my shelves fifty years ago, and provides the kind of insight that will reach preachers, scholars, students, and anyone who wishes to learn more about the living Christ for years to come.
Dr. James B. Mooneyhan, Clergy, Atlanta Area of the UMC
The Gospel of John becomes alive anew with the reading of this book. Dr. Lee has compiled a contextual interpretation of the Gospel in a way that informs casual readers and yet challenges serious scholars and seminary students. This is an invaluable resource in sermon preparation, Bible studies, Sunday school lessons, or daily devotions. This work is so extensive, yet very understandable that it should be included in every serious student of the Scriptures! I highly recommend this book.
Rev. Dr. Philip D. DeMore, Former District Superintendent of the UMC
This book is the labor of a lifetime, as Paul Lee shares the fruit of decades of living with the Gospel of John, and for persons committed to serious study of the Bible. The title itself is a challenge as the aim of every Christian. My prayer for potential readers is that they will experience Jesus as “Lord and Teacher,” love him more dearly, and keep his word more faithfully.
Maxie Dunnam, Former President of Asbury Seminary, now Minister at Large, Christ UMC, Memphis, TN
The Gospel of John continues to be an inexhaustible source of Christian faith and theology. Paul Lee has given us a fresh, clear and faithful reading of John, combining chapter by chapter overviews, detailed commentary, and insightful practical reflections on John’s implications for Christian life and witness. This book is an excellent resource for pastors, teachers and anyone who desires a deeper encounter with the Johannine biblical text in relation to the New Testament.
Rev. Dr. Don E. Saliers, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
