The Himalayas of the New Testament: John 1

In this podcast series, Cecil examines the highest thoughts (the Himalayas) of the New Testament. John 1 contains what Cecil calls the Executive Summary, which lays out many of the concepts and terms you read throughout the Gospel of John. These include the following terms:

Word, Life, Light, Darkness, Witness, Testify, Believe, True, Truth, Grace, Glory, Flesh, Fullness

Cecil analyzes the reasons the Apostle John wrote the Gospel of John, as he not only shared an intimate disciple's view of Jesus, but also addressed heresies going on in the church at the time of his writing.

For this podcast, it symbolizes how difficult it is to read the Gospel of John without insight, such as is gained from the Executive Summary of John.
