In
Volume 1 we have considered the comprehensive
presentation of this transition as contained in the
Letter to the Hebrews. In this second volume we are
taking note of the concentration of that transition as in
the Gospel by John. This "Gospel" has been
expounded in many ways, mainly in relation to certain
specific subjects, as contained in the separate chapters.
This method has provided an immense amount of helpful
instruction. But the Gospel has rarely - if ever - been
shown to have ONE matter governing it from beginning to
end. Our object here is to do this and to show that there
is one comprehensive issue lying behind the whole. Our
method is to indicate this by some sixteen particular
connections in the narrative. There are, however, more
than sixteen. The messages having been given in
conference, the number of meetings only allowed for what
is here presented. The spoken form is retained.
