The Testimony of John: 1907 Biblical Study Notes on the Gospel of John (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781634919425)

Once described as "the most exhaustive treatise on the 'kingdom of God' ever written," the author of "The Theocratic Kingdom" left many unpublished personal Bible studies. These recently discovered handwritten documents are now being meticulously transcribed and prepared for publication. What makes these 100-year-old studies unique is the straightforward grammatical viewpoint taken by Rev Peters towards interpretation, that the language of the Bible does not require spiritualization or mysticism to be understood, that such unjustified additions actually detract and confuse the reader. As seen in the recently published "Testimony of Jesus" and now in the "Testimony of John," application of these rules of interpretation gives the Gospel of John a bold, fresh new voice wherein Rev Peters clearly exposes the simple interconnected design of the book, a testimony to the true identity of Jesus from the oldest surviving disciple.

In each chapter, John's testimony confronts the reader with the man Christ Jesus. By the end of the Gospel, the evidence is so overwhelming that only one conclusion remains (the reason John wrote the book in the first place) - that Jesus is the Messiah and that, through believing, one might obtain life through His name.
