 Bible Summary - JOHN
John repeatedly stresses the true humanity and true deity of Jesus Christ, and affirms that in Jesus Christ the two natures were united in the one Person (see chs 1:1­3; 2:22­24; 4:2, 3, 14; 5:20).
John obviously wrote his Gospel to prove that Jesus Christ is indeed the divine Son of God (see Jn 1:1­3, 14; 3:13­17; 4:29; 5:17­39; 17:3­5; 19:7; etc.), presumably to confute the heretical teachings concerning the nature of Christ that gained acceptance during the closing decades of the 1st cent.
John records only a little more than one fourth of the incidents of Christ's ministry that are recorded in the 4 Gospels, and of those reported nearly one third are not mentioned by the Synoptic writers.
