A beautiful look at the Gospel of John December 20, 2000 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
Bruno Barnhardt argues that the Gospel is written in a mandala, a cross inside a circle. The narrative radiates from Christ as its center, uniting God and Cosmos, Jew and Gentile. He begins with his central argument of the mandala, then moves through the gospel showing how it works, piece by piece. It's full of spiritual insight, with wonderful writing from Br. Barnhardt, something all too rare in modern scripture studies. It's a splendid read.
