JOHN
Gospel for a New Age Leonard Doohan Paper, $10.95 228 pages, 5½” x 8½” ISBN 0-89390-263-2 |
John: Gospel for a New Age delivers a unique understanding of the Good News. Author Leonard Doohan calls John’s Gospel a challenging and refreshing foundational document for Christian faith because it calls to a deep mysticism and avoids the clutter of petty laws and power struggles so typical of inauthentic religion. John’s Gospel has always been characterized as coming from the fruits of reflection and deep prayer, and it cannot be comprehended unless one enters into a deep mystical state. The author aids the reader in entering this spiritual state required to truly know John’s Gospel of Christ.
