{"product_id":"jesus-his-mother-her-sister-robert-grotty-9781863551595","title":"Jesus, His Mother, Her Sister Mary and Mary Magdalene: The Gnostic Background to the Gospel of John","description":"The Gospel of John has always been difficult to interpret: it has proved enigmatic and even opaque. This book demonstrates that the present text has followed a long and tortuous journey from Jewish Gnosticism to Christian Gnosticism and into Roman Christianity. The result is a surprising re-reading both of the earlier versions of the text and the editing done by the Roman Christians. It throws light on a different Jesus to the canonical one, a different Mother, a different Sister Mary and a different Mary Magdalene who was called the Beloved Disciple in the gospel text. 'This book is a bold, brilliant unearthing of the religious roots of the Gospel of John' - Dr Norman Habel, Editor of 'The Earth Bible' Project. 'Robert Crotty applies a lifetime of acclaimed scholarship to the historical and literary foundations of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. His exciting insights into the Gnostic foundations of the Gospel of John are ground-breaking and will lead the way in New Testament scholarship' - Dr Lorraine Parkinson, Vice-President of the Progressive Christian Network of Victoria.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Grotty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 186355159X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781863551595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lovell Publishing Pty Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.77d","brand":"Robert Grotty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254996693247,"sku":"9781863551595","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17e16339-f861-4440-8d6d-7347aff5e028.jpg?v=1694615520","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesus-his-mother-her-sister-robert-grotty-9781863551595","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
