Description

The Gospel of John presents a paradoxical yet profound spirituality that is both deeply personal and profoundly missional. Michael Gorman argues that this "spiritual Gospel" can be summarized in the phrase "Abide and go," from John 15, where disciples participate in divine love and life, and therefore become part of God's life-giving mission. This book explores how the Gospel of John's spirituality can be understood as a robust form of missional theosis. Gorman contends that as we become more like Christ through the work of the Spirit, we embody the very character of our missional God. This understanding has significant implications for Christian ministry and missions. Through a nuanced analysis of the Gospel of John, Gorman reveals a rich and complex theology that challenges traditional views of mission and spirituality.
