| Summary | "The Gospel of St. John: A Series of Discourses" by Frederick Denison Maurice is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century. This work seeks to explore and explicate the profound teachings of the Gospel of St. John, emphasizing the significance of Jesus Christ as the divine Word and the transformative light for humanity. Maurice approaches these discourses with a focus on their spiritual and ethical implications, aiming to bridge the ancient messages of scripture with contemporary understanding. At the start of the text, Maurice outlines his intentions to delve into the themes presented in the Gospel of St. John, emphasizing the necessity of connecting scriptural teachings to the experiences and needs of modern congregations. He highlights the Gospel's opening, "In the beginning was the Word," as foundational, suggesting that it reveals the eternal nature of Christ and His role in creation. The author acknowledges the challenges of interpreting scripture, yet expresses hope that through sincere study, readers may deepen their understanding of these divine truths, thus awakening a desire for spiritual guidance and enlightenment.
