John

Who

Ascribed to John the apostle, and the book calls its source the disciple whom Jesus loved.

When

Usually the last of the four, around AD 90.

What it is

A different telling: fewer events, longer conversations, and seven signs chosen to make one case about who Jesus is.

What to watch for

It says outright why it was written, near the end, and it is the book to read first if you are reading one.

But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.John 20:31
