What Is the Bible?: How an Ancient Library of Poems, Letters, and Stories Can Transform the Way You Think and Feel about Everything

Product Information

Peter having preached the word publicly at Rome, and by the Spirit proclaimed the Gospel, those who were present, who were numerous, entreated Mark, inasmuch as he had attended him from an early period, and remembered what had been said, to write down what had been spoken. On his composing the Gospel, he handed it to those who had made the request to him; which coming to Peter’s knowledge, he neither hindered nor encouraged. But John, the last of all, seeing that what was corporeal was set forth in the Gospels, on the entreaty of his intimate friends, and inspired by the Spirit, composed a spiritual Gospel.” Could someone else have written the Book of John? The Apostle John (also known as Saint John) was one of Jesus Christ’s 12 disciples, and a prominent leader in the early Christian church. Along with James and Peter, John was one of Jesus’ closest confidants, so he appears in more biblical accounts than the other disciples. Adapted from the ESV Story of Redemption Bible, The Epic Story of the Bible teaches believers and nonbelievers alike how to read the word of God as a grand storyline that points to the saving work of Jesus Christ.

It’s literally a Bible with a bunch of notes in it. It’s not quite a study Bible, but more like just having a tour guide through the thing that will step in at various points and point out points of interest: Keep this in mind. Here’s where the story is going. Here’s what just happened. Here’s why this is important. Having somebody to kind of hold your hand through the whole thing like that is immensely helpful in just understanding what’s going on at any given point. 10:04 - Should I be carefully studying the Bible verse by verse and passage by passage, or just simply reading it? Bible reading must become a non-negotiable daily activity for us. Why? Because we need the words of God to soak into our minds, hearts, and souls. By simply reading God’s word every day, you will find that your heart is more at rest, your mind is not as tempted to stray, and your attitude improves.

In any case, we know that John was one of the closest followers of John the Baptist’s cousin (Jesus). Did the disciple John write the Gospel of John?

John (the disciple) is never mentioned in the Gospel of John. In ancient writings it was common for writers to omit themselves from an account or use third person descriptions to disguise their identity. In the Gospel of John, the author uses “the one whom Jesus loved” five times to refer to a disciple who was particularly close to Jesus. It appears in John 13:23, John 19:26, John 20:2, John 21:7, and John 21:20. Question number five: What do you think about journaling alongside your Bible reading? Do you do that? Church tradition holds that John was the only apostle to die of old age. The rest were martyred for their faith. Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, ‘We have found the Messiah’ (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus.” —John 1:35–42a Charlotte Brontë was the last to die of all her siblings. She became pregnant shortly after her marriage in June 1854 but died on 31 March 1855, almost certainly from hyperemesis gravidarum, a complication of pregnancy which causes excessive nausea and vomiting.
