Lifted Up

In this in-depth exploration of the Gospel of John’s last chapters, Thomas Olbricht takes readers to the heart of the passion narrative. Such study has but one objective in mind to deepen your faith and strengthen your belief. John recounts the works and words of Jesus to ground your faith once again and to tune your heart and ear to hear the call of the Christ.

‘Based on solid research and written in lucid style, this book makes a unique contribution to the understanding of the Gospel of John. Olbricht finds the key to the meaning of the Gospel in the theme, “the lifting up of Christ.” His exposition of this theme not only illuminates the theological message of John, it also enlightens the faith of the contemporary believer.’

‘Tom Olbricht shows once again why he is the most highly beloved educator in the Churches of Christ. This very readable monograph on the Gospel of John displays wiened obsercations gained from careful pondering and a command of language, theology, criticism, and popular culture. Even as the original beloved disciple intends to “lift up” the name of Christ, so does this contemporary beloved professor “lift up” the Gospel of John.’
