"The reflections on John's Gospel contained in this book are written with beautiful lucidity and depth. The authorial combination of an eminent New Testament scholar and a Jesuit priest is incomparable, offering incisive commentary on the text alongside engaged reflection, from within the Ignatian tradition, on its profound meaning for the reader. The book is a great gift to the church across denominational divides and different spiritual traditions, enabling a prayerful and transformative reading of the Fourth Gospel."
