The Signs of the Christ

The Gospel of John is the quintessential “odd man out.” It is the unique Gospel among all four and presents Jesus in a very special light. The key to understanding the Gospel of John is an awareness of its purpose. John was not interested in offering a biography of Jesus. His purpose was to “prove” that Jesus was the Messiah.

John accomplished his purpose by drawing attention to the seven signs Jesus tendered during his ministry on earth. By focusing on the signs, John revealed the work of God the Father through his Son. And that work advances proof of his Messiahship.

The Signs of the Christ book (sold separately) explains Christ's signs and manifestations in a way that no one has to date. The reader is drawn into a world of theological wonder, the result of which is a deeper insight into this marvelous, Christ-honoring work.

The Signs of the Christ Study Guide is intended to be used by learners along with The Signs of The Christ book (i.e., the Study Guide is not designed for standalone use).  The Study Guide is integrated with the Signs of the Christ book and Teaher's Guide, and intended for individual or small group study, or as a supplemental study to university or seminary programs that focus on the Gospel of John.

• Pre-Test


• Interactive Activities
