Unlike the other Gospels, it focuses on Jesus’ divine identity through signs, teachings, and personal encounters. John’s purpose is clear: that readers may believe in Jesus and have life in His name (John 20:31). **🏷️ Genre** - Theological Gospel / Narrative Theology **🎓 Scholarly Quotes** > “John’s Gospel is not simply telling us what Jesus did; it is telling us who Jesus is.” — D. A. Carson > “John writes so that the reader may move from sign to faith, from miracle to meaning.” — Leon Morris > “The Fourth Gospel is a sustained meditation on the identity of Jesus as the revealer of God.” — Richard Bauckham > “John’s Gospel is evangelistic theology—deep, reflective, and pastoral.” — Andreas J.
