The Gospel of John (Book of John) "the most influential book in all literature."

John writes from personal knowledge. John shows us how a divine personage infuriated the hiearchy by claiming to be one with Jehovah. There is in St. John's Gospel a large element which, although under the guidance of the Spirit comes form himself.

In the issues of the ministry a more complete revelation is made to the disciples (John Chapters 13-20).
