Episode Twenty-six and Episode Twenty-seven, the first of twenty focused on the Gospel of St. John in the AIC Bible Study Video series, New Testament: Gospels, were uploaded this week. In Episode Twenty-six I explore the history, authorship & themes and offer some suggestions on how to read the Gospel of St. John, plus a reading of the first five verses of John 1,the opening words in St. John’s ground-breaking Prelude. In Episode Twenty-seven I read and discuss the whole Prelude: John 1:1-18. Among the many examples of historic art depictions of St. John is a remarkable and colorful example from the Carolingian era of the revived Holy Roman Empire in western Europe. The manuscript, The Benedictional of Aethelwold, a service book for the Mass by the Bishop of Winchester, based on the Gallican and Gregorian Sacramentaries, was protected by various noble families after the English Reformation. It was acquired from the Duke of Devonshire, Chatsworth, Devonshire, by the British Library in 1958 A.D. Below is the only illumination of a Gospel author that has survived, St. John with the traditional Eagle symbol.
