“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

I wonder what you think of the late Rev. Raymond Brown’s scholarship on John. I think he was one of the first to divide it into the “Book of Signs” and “Book of Glory.”
[I think there are much better commentators.]
St John wrote his Gospel in an attempt to reconcile the understanding of Logos in Greek philosophy, with the Resurrection. – E. Michael Jones
[I think there’s more to it than that.]
Looking forward to getting this book. Love his work. I have been watching the series “The Chosen” which is wonderful. In Season 2 “Sons of Thunder” episode, it features the apostle John starting to write the book of John. Towards the end of the episode Jesus is reading the book of Genesis and then John starts writing the gospel. A beautiful scene!
Even to a simple gal in the pews like me there is nothing more glorious than v. 12.
Last lent I tried to memorize the entire last gospel, I fell short of the goal. This year I’m going to finish it. I’ll be sure to get this book for lent reading.
I just ordered it. As an Oblate of St. Benedict, the Rule states I read a book every Lent. I had one picked out, but this looks like a better one. I am very fond of Anthony Esolen’s writing.
I agree Father. This is a beautiful book. I’ve been reading slowly and will read it over again, perhaps often as a meditation on a single phrase. I think I first saw it on your site. Thank you for recommending it to everyone. I’ve always found the Prologue of the Gospel of John to be beautiful. This book makes it much more so.
God bless
Tony Esolen is also an amazing teacher (some of my children have been students of his).
Thank you for this, Father Z. Very dear to me, as a convert from the Episcopal Church. We were “high church” Episcopalians when I was growing up, and recited this all together at the end every service, in English of course. I have known the Prologue from memory almost all my life.
I’d be sincerely interested in a few names. I still use Anchor Bible/Yale often and Brown wrote the two volumes on John.
