This study demonstrates that the Gospel attributed to John gives an inaccurate acccount of the life and teaching of Jesus. It shows that this Gospel was finished during fierce conflict between the Johannine community and the Jewish community. During this conflict, the Johannines hailed Jesus as God, and declared that the Jews were children of the devil. They then attributed their beliefs to Jesus, and portrayed him as quarrelling with the Jews as they did. Consequently, this document is fiercely anti-Jewish and has been used to fuel anti-semitism - reasons for the author to challenge the fitness of John's Gospel to be in anyone's sacred scriptures.

Review
...remarkably detailed and thorough...the major strength of this book lies in its details, especially in Casey's careful analyses of primary texts and his methodological rigor.
