I am in the process of collecting my posts on the Fourth Gospel (as well as those about other parts of the Bible, from a Fourth Gospel perspective) on a new Fourth Gospel Blog. There's not much there yet, and nothing new, but expect new content in the near future. In the meantime, any of you who have not yet read my (extremely long!) post on John 1 might want to check it out.

You keep this up and you'll have more blogs than Bruce! Kidding aside, this is great. I'm going to shout this out on my blog later today.
Ah Yes - The Fourth... That minor gospel written in extreme old age by Jesus's disciple John; long after the Epistles and Synoptics had been written, read and approved by him; and had defined the true and essential nature of Christianity...
Seems like John was just filling-in a few minor gaps; embroidering and elaborating on the esoteric, mystical and abstractly philosophical aspects - in a pretentiously literary way that is pretty incomprehensible and (let's be honest) not really essential.
Indeed, Johnny-boy was lucky to have it included in the canon at all, given how much he leaves-out and gets wrong.
Yes, the Fourth Gospel...
... ;-) for any in-joke-naïve passing readers.
Looking forward to digging my teeth into this! I recently gave Bruce's Fourth Gospel minibook another read and picked up on many ideas I missed the first time around.
