The author seeks to answer this following question: “How does one person communicate the Christian faith to another?” (Craddock, 2002, p. 4). Craddock sets out to analyze the aspects of Kierkegaard’s method of communication and clarify the problems the 19th-century Danish philosopher’s indirect discourse approach faced in communicating the gospel during his lifetime (Beddingfield, 1978).…

The author of John is blunt about what the purpose of writing his gospel was, and John 20:31 most clearly states that “But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.” This verse can further be supported by John 8:24 and John 3:16, all of which collectively describe the idea that Jesus would die for everyone’s sins, and thus those who believe would have eternal life with God. From this, it can be inferred that the author of John was written to anyone who did not know Jesus or wanted to know who he was/is.…
