Summary: Particluarly relevant for a nation on the brink of war
Review: In this commentary on the gospel of John Sloyan focuses on the reconciling nature of Jesus'ministry. Chapter 4 was a highlight for me as he talked about the woman at the well narrative being more about two peoples being brought together rather than an accounht of one outcast woman. This national reconciling/ecumenical theme is carried throughout the commentary. If we could learn the lessons here perhaps we would not be on the brink of war, perhaps there is learning here for Israel and Palestine of today! I use this book for preparing sermons and not a week goes by that I don't hear, "I never thought about the text that way before!" Sloyan makes you think again about passages that long ago became rote in too many ways.
