The Cartoon Gospel of John: A Serious Commentary with Visual Parables

The Gospel of John is one of the most difficult books of the New Testament. It is thus fitting that so much scholarship and study has been aimed at understanding this profound work. William Anderson and cartoonist Richard Diesslin have come together to create this new and unique look at John by combining Anderson’s erudite commentary and Diesslin’s whimsical visual parables of the main passages in the Gospel of John. Each of the fifty-eight major events and teachings in the Gospel are covered first in an enlightening commentary, then elucidated further by a playful yet reverent cartoon.
