The second season of “Ancient Scrolling” is kicking off with an in-depth exploration of the Gospel according to John.

In AD 65, some three decades after the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, many in the Christian faith began to drift theologically. Several theories and doctrines about the identity of Christ surfaced, with many being wrong and others being outright blasphemous.

The Apostle John took this theological drift personally, as he not only knew Jesus personally, but was “The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved.”

So, John endeavored to set the record straight. His efforts, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and thus being scripture and the word of God, are what we now know as “The Gospel according to John,” and “1st, 2nd, and 3rd John.”

In Episode 1, John sets out to establish the identity of Christ, and to demonstrate that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ.
