Editorial reviews

Dr. Bill Creasy presents the gospel according to John with insight and warmth. This gospel gives a personal account of the life of Jesus, from his works of public ministry, to his death, burial, and resurrection. Dr. Creasy, a professor of English literature, gives a nuanced and smart interpretation of the text. With his great stage presence, Dr. Creasy's lecture makes for easy listening. Because it is live, though, a few moments apply only to the audience present. Still, Dr. Creasy is so engaging that curious listeners will benefit from this series as much as devoted Christians.

Publisher's summary

Written considerably later that the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), John takes a very different approach to the Gospel story. Traditionally attributed to the "Beloved Apostle" John, this Gospel doesn’t give us yet another version of the events in Jesus’ public ministry; John illustrates what those events mean in light of 60 years of reflection upon them. The Gospel according to John is a brilliant book, and it offers us a profoundly intimate glimpse into the person and work of Jesus Christ. Listen closely as Logos Bible Study’s Dr. Bill Creasy reveals the nuances of this amazing work. This book is a must have for your audio library.

Excellent Bible Study

I also posted this on Amazon.com. This series contains the audio from class lectures by Dr. Bill Creasy.

Dr. Creasy covers each book verse-by-verse, providing context to the material by explaining other passages in the Bible that may relate to a passage under study, with descriptions of corresponding historical events and the geography and their relationship to the passage, as well as anecdotes from his travels or study. I find it extremely helpful to study the Bible in context with geography and history.

As explained in the opening lesson on Genesis, this study starts with Genesis in the Old Testament, then moves to Matthew in the New Testament, then Exodus and Leviticus in the Old Testament, then back to Mark in the New Testament, and so on. Dr. Creasy does this because 1) if covered in weekly segments, as done in his class, it would be in year 5 before he got to Matthew, and 2) to help show the relationship between Old Testament and New Testament.

According to the syllabus I received from Dr. Creasy (he sometimes deviates from this in class), John is the ninth in the Logos Bible Study series, preceded by Deuteronomy and followed by Joshua. John has 21 chapters, and the study is comprised of 17 lessons. Total time - 11 hours, 43 minutes.

Note: Dr. Creasy does give a little introduction to Joshua in the last lesson.

Fantastic In-Depth Study of John

(Suggestion: listen to Mathew, Mark, and Luke before listening to John)
This is a fantastic study of John. Dr. Creasy is very entertaining and knowledgeable about the Bible. He seamlessly weaves in Old Testament references to help you understand John. He also uses topography, geography, and personal anecdotes to really make the story come to life. Since this a lecture, there is audience laughter which makes this even more enjoyable.
Two side notes: 1. Since this is a seminar, there are references to maps which you can't see. This did not detract from my experience. 2. He does say the "s word" in a joke, which did not offend me at all. If you are offended by that word, please do not throw the baby out with the bathwater (for you sake :). You will miss something special if you do throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Dr. Bill headed out of the park with this one

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Dr. Bill s an expert the history, the archaeology ,and what it was like to live and different times. There is enough gravitas there for senior Christians and newbies. Hetakes teaching the word of God seriously and approaches it with humor!

Dr. Bill states what the Lord says,, and then might go off into various interpretations but iin the end he is word-based always word based!

He makes the Bible fun!

Dr. Bill has opened up the Bible to me and thousands of others! He is a gem if I did not get to meet him on earth than I will certainly meet him in heaven in which I will give him a big hug!

That not only goes for Daniel but for other books of the Bible! I originally started listening to his series in preparation of precepts upon precepts studying revelation! and it made it a whole lot easier on me! I am ones and those who actually understands revelation!


I wish there were more people out there like Dr. Bill and there would be more Christians without a doubt!

it's the details

I've listened to several Dr Creasy's Bible books. John was the best. Details that put me there beside the Jordan river, inside the upper room at Martha's and and in the synagogue with Jesus teaching - these windows into that time helped me collate the facts into a cohesive record. Dr Creasy's best lesson is the Gospel of John.

Foul Language Alert

For the most part, I have bought and enjoyed several book in this series by Dr. Creasy. As other reviewers have noted, he does sometimes go off on a tangent with personal stories that can drag on for several minutes but he does present an interesting takes on the various books of the Bible. I was floored though today, while he was discussing the disciples question of whose sin caused the man to be born blind, instead of quoting what Jesus actually said per the text, uttered an expletive...I assume as a joke. Extremely poor judgement by Dr. Creasy and even greater misjudgment by Logos to not edit it out. I will not be back. A real shame because I enjoyed them and learned a lot...but, if you are going to advertise a study as a way to grow in Christ, I will seek wholesome material, not crudeness.

Through John, His favorite!

Through John, you learn so much more about the human side of Jesus. I never saw Him in this intimate a way... Jesus has always seemed too high to reach or understand in all His glory. Too much out of my league to even truly pray too as I figured my words would be just gibberish to His highly developed mind. Through John, you can become friends with Jesus as well as glorify His name. And as always, Bill Creasy teaches The Book in a way all minds can enjoy and understand it.

Excellent but……..

I have listened to Dr. Creasy’s Bible commentaries on each book in the Bible multiple times and have learned a lot. They are very in-depth and engaging. The one thing that bothers me as another reviewer noted, is he does on occasion use foul language. I understand he does so in context of what a character might have said but the commentary could be done without the expletives. The Bible does say John cursed but it doesn’t tell us what he said. We get the idea without Dr. Creasy adding his own thoughts and language on what John might have said. It was actually rather alarming. Other than that it is very interesting and informative.
