The Gospel of John was beloved by the early church, much as it is today, for its spiritual insight and clear declaration of Jesus' divinity. Clement of Alexandria indeed declared it the "spiritual Gospel." Early disputers with heretics such as Cerinthus and the Ebionites drew on the Gospel of John to refute their heretical notions and uphold the full deity of Christ, and this Gospel ...

How IVP Fiction Can Grow You Spiritually

There’s no shortage of resources to choose from when it comes to spiritual growth. Books, podcasts, Bible studies—the list goes on. Maybe when you think of spiritual growth you think of a sermon, a meeting with a spiritual director, quiet time with Jesus, or your small group. Maybe you think of it with delight, or maybe it’s something that you secretly dread.

Luke knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote his Gospel. He tells us his goal in the opening ...

Nor by a nebulous spiritual wandering that never culminates in decision and commitment. Over the last decade, Don Everts and Doug Schaupp have listened to the stories of two thousand postmodern people who have come to follow Jesus. While their stories are diverse and varied, ...
