Beschreibungen
Puzzled by John? This exciting book illuminates the Gospel in a completely fresh way. Reading and working with it will deepen fellowship and skill in pastoral care. The text is mined for gems of insight into ourselves, and as a rich resource of ample illustrative material for preachers and teachers. Poetry, prose, and hymn references abound.
Pastor John elucidates the first four chapters of John's Gospel, presenting new insights into the text in a way that involves us in the story. When we read, we come nearer to Jesus, who is always with us anyway! A guide is provided for understanding ourselves, experienced by sharing with each other. Precise guidance is given for workshops, where all contribute something of themselves in the light of the text.
This experience of John's Gospel is illuminated using the latest way of reading the text. What the story means is conveyed in detailed Bible study. It becomes real for us, and this reality is explored by understanding the process of reading and observing our reactions to the text. John's Christ becomes central to who we are.

Brian Tebbutt is a Methodist minister devoted to deep pastoral care focused in the church and its groups. Experienced as a trained counselor and chaplain, he has related the message of John’s Gospel to the growth of faith. He has been teaching leader at the Oxford Christian Institute of Counselling and the founder of Group Experience in Methodism. He combines biblical insights, a narrative critical reading of the texts, and a psychodynamic understanding of persons.

“This book results from decades of engagement with the Fourth Gospel. Linking reader response and psychodynamic approaches the author writes as preacher, teacher, pastor, and scholar, and above all as enthusiast for the Gospel—as both canonical text and good news. Readers will profit from a work structured to enable the reader to engage existentially as well as intellectually both with the detailed scholarship presented and with the fruits of practical pastoral encounter.”

<br> “This is a book to engage with rather than merely to read. It not only lives up to its claim to cross the borders between therapy and theology, it fuses the deepest insights of both. Holistic? Yes. Demanding? Yes again. Worth it? A thousand times yes.”

<br> “With an intriguing combination of reader response, literary criticism, and insights from psychodynamics, Brian Tebbutt explores John’s Gospel, chs. 1–4, deeply and attentively. More than that, he encourages his readers to engage radically with the text, through engaging with others in sharing groups, to seek self, others, and God. It is a rich mix.”

<br> “Exhilarating! Refreshing! Illuminating! This book is the product of a lifetime of working with small groups and reflecting on John’s Gospel. Tebbutt has given an invaluable resource, particularly for those who are involved in pastoral care and counseling.”
