THE IMAGE OF GOD ACCORDING TO SAN JUAN
Introduction
The Gospel of St. John, is one of the constituent canonical gospels of the New Testament. It stands out for stylistic and thematic differences, as well as for its chronological and topographic scheme with respect to the three synoptic gospels. John’s Gospel revolves around a fundamental issue: Jesus is the envoy of God, his word par excellence, who came to this world to make us know the Father. He does not speak for himself, but "gives testimony" of the truth he heard of the Father (3. 11-13, 31-34).
Developing
His whole life is a revelation of the "glory" he received from his father’s own before the creation of the world (17. 1-5). "Jesus is the envoy of God, who came to this world to make us know the Father and all the life of Him is a revelation of the glory he received from Him’s father, before the creation of the world". Demonstrating through the signs, that Jesus is the Son of God, sent by him. So that thanks to him and his teachings we can have eternal life in communion with God. It has been a gospel object of controversy.
This occurs, since its author is discussed, the situation in which it was written, because it could influence its thinking and its modes of expression, its literary structure, its sources and even the nature of the book. These documents not only contain many passages with symmetries in the other canonical gospels, these fragments are presented in a diverse way in terms of the contents, language and expressions that Jesus preaches. This Gospel is attributed to John the Apostle and Evangelist,
In him, it is denoted that the one called "the beloved disciple, or the disciple whom Jesus loved", is also the author of the book. The phrase "the disciple whom Jesus loved" appears five times in the fourth gospel. Although, given the lack of unity in its final writing, the supposed style and date of writing, among other points, both authorship itself and its scope are questioned. It is possible that the Gospel of John was the result of the community founded around one of the disciples of Jesus.
conclusion
The evidence suggests that John’s Gospel was the last one, written at some point after the year 70 D.C. It seems that Juan could have been written between the mid -80s and the beginning of the 90s, since he could have served as a pastor of the Church of Efesio. Some of the characteristics that we can highlight from the Gospel of St. John is that it is a speech that invites meditation and abstraction, where reflections on the image of Jesus highlight. It is a symbolic and liturgical gospel, in which some Jewish festivities are framed.
