Understanding the Messianic Judgeship of Jesus

Interpreting certain themes in the Gospels is often done through a twenty-first-century Western perspective. Judge Jesus will seek to help a modern reader of the Gospel of John see the concept of Jesus's messianic judgeship through the eyes of a first-century Jewish audience.

Judge Jesus will explore how the themes of judgment and messianic expectation throughout Early Judaism impacted how John's Jewish audience would have understood the words of his Gospel.

As a twenty-first-century interpreter of the Gospel of John, your studies will be greatly enhanced as you start to see these themes in the same way that John's Jewish audience originally understood the words that he wrote.
