Themes in the Gospel of John (Entire Lecture!) | N.T. Wright Online

[@200gjk]

John's gospel - shows the way forward to live today's life. there are several aspects to today's life that need guidance. NTW gives this long introduction, I guess, mainly for people who think that a sense of justice is NOT inherent. (it is learned human behaviour and varies depending on social norms) - My thanks to NTW who took time to explain and also create intrigue as to how does Bible (John's gospel) provide guidance in dealing with today's prevailing injustice.

Good gracious Bishop Wright, Four years on here in Hamilton, NZ your commentary is as contemporary as it was first shared !! ▪︎"Justice" such a huge topic and so relevant for 2023 in our place of life as it was seen through the Johnine Gospel of Jesus's interaction of His day !!

[@NTWrightOnline]

Many thanks for your encouragement. If you're interested, you can study online as well. Justice is a key theme in this course: www.udemy.com/share/101upy/

This sounds as if it is actually a promo for a course on the Gospel of John. I guess I was expecting a list of bullet points identifying the themes in John, as the title leads interested viewers that this video would, in only nine minutes, reveal these themes - plural. NTW only expounds on justice, a singular theme. It isn’t until near the video’s end @8.25 that we find out if we sign up for the course we will learn more. Seems a bit naughty. Titles should be transparent, especially if the topic is on justice. Those not familiar might ask how John’s gospel is any different from today’s government documents. That said I am looking forward to delving into this study with Bishop Wright. It is sure to reveal more layers of truth and goodness, blessing us all.

Rather a puzzling video: plugged in a marketing email as an answer to the question "what is the course like?" this barely mentions John's Gospel or the Bible. Is that typical across the course? Presumably not. I'd guess this is just an introductory video for one particular theme, raising issues that later lectures are intended to address. Do these subsequent lectures address the issues well, relevantly, interestingly? Who knows - this video doesn't help, I'm afraid.

I like ntw teaching but I'd like him to be more specific and straightforward instead of beating around the bush.

[@MarkAndrewRitchie]

are you going to so much as speak about the Gospel of John?

[@drezhilarasi]

Yes,topic is John's gospel???

[@sarahtucker4337]

I always appreciate your teachings Sir. But it seems that this issue of the themes in JOHN's Gospel is not handled correctly You went too far away.So it makes it Soo boring for mist of us. Please give the intro ,then the topic.

[@dannorris8478]

Either Wright doesn’t know what the themes of John’s gospel are or the channel doesn’t know what they are. Probably both.

[@stjohnssoup]

Nothing about John🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Andantalas]

Great intro, please pass on that a yellow background (wall color) does not compliment his skin tone.

[@NTWrightOnline]

Glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback.
