John, The Shakespeare of the New Testament

Wednesdays, 6:30pm | Room 143

What if the Gospel of John is not only a gospel we read, but one we are meant to envision? In this six-session study, Pastor Tom Albright will help us explore John as a master storyteller whose Gospel unfolds through dramatic scenes, memorable characters, vivid dialogue, irony, misunderstanding, suspense, and surprising reversals. We will look closely and experience the wedding at Cana, Nicodemus and Jesus, the Samaritan woman, the healing of the man born blind, Lazarus, the trial before Pilate, and the encounters with the risen Christ. We will ask not only, “What is John telling us about Jesus?” but also, “What is John wanting us to experience?” No special background is required—only a willingness to see one of the New Testament’s most familiar gospels with fresh eyes.
