Written That You May Believe has quickly become a standard text for the feminist-informed study of the Gospel of John. Scholars have hailed its publication and dedicated a session at the American Academy of Religion to discuss its message. Lay readers have welcomed it as a companion in opening up the meaning of the Fourth Gospel, and small groups have begun using it as a guide in their devotional reading. This revised edition, enriched with new chapters from Sandra Schneiders and a study guide prepared by John C. Wronski offers new ways to nourish faith through the rich symbolism of the Gospel of John and an invitation to "dwell in" the liberating truth of Jesus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rigorous, Prayerful, Pastoral
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2014
Verified Purchase
I give this book five stars from every role I inhabit in my life.

As a Catholic priest I preach out of the fruit that this book has helped grow regularly. As a philosophy teacher I trust the insights Sr. Schneiders provides because of the evident rigor of her scholarship and her deep application of philosophical hermeneutics to biblical scholarship - citations of Gadamer, Ricoeur, etc. can be regularly found. In my own relationship with God I find Sr. Schneider's attention to the spiritual consequences of her scholarship deepen my own prayer life.

It is well worth the time of any person who is interested in understanding the Gospel of John.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading as a commentary and spiritual reading book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2015

This book on the Fourth Gospel is clearly written. It is a commentary on the Gospel so there is in depth research that is worthy of the material. But, as the title suggests, Sandra Schneiders brings the reader to the spiritual reality of the Gospel that she emphasizes is the intent of the author of this Gospel. Well worth the read!

Great read, highly informative, but very theological (feminist bend) and scholastic. Have a dictionary handy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The gospel of John in new light
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book had been recommended to me by a very good friend in my search for more enlightened information on the gospel of John. It is obviously a feminist view of the scriptures but the research is scholarly and held to the highest standards. I would recommend it to anyone who has some basic background in scripture study and who has an open attitude toward the needs of the church and her people in these modern times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feminist perspective on the 4th Gospel.
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018
Verified Purchase
This commentary connects many of the dots in the 4th Gospel in a thoughtful and liberating way. The book helps the reader to look beyond the traditional stereotypical views of women. Most importantly, there is a strong Christology contained here.

Excellent discussion of the theology of the Fourth Gospel. Schneiders provides a fresh insight into the post-Jerusalem Church as it struggled with its own identity, faith and developing theology.

3.0 out of 5 stars Feminist
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2017

I was impressed with the first five chapters then when she got into chapter six and seven I had to put it down. Schneiders definitely has a bias toward feminism: "...culturally based sexism of men who have monopolized power in the ecclesiastical institutions from the earliest days of the church's history have attempted to sacralize the monopoly by appeal to scripture" (p 96). And again: "...integration of the feminine into our God-experience and the full inclusion of women in the church that this implies" (p 125). She did use the lower case church in both cases. Schneiders has a doctorate in sacred theology. Her books are widely read. I would not consider her a marginalized woman in the Church. The fact that women do not hold ecclesiastical office appears to be a big problem to her. I'm sure if the Holy Spirit wanted women in ecclesiastical positions, He would have made it abundantly clear to the Bishop of Rome. As she alludes to in Chapter 5, women make the men. I am living proof of this, my wife has made me successful. The least common denominator for me are Gen 3:16c and the abundant number of female canonized saints. After all, the goal in life is to be a saint, not a priest or bishop. I now see why this book did not receive an imprimatur or nihil obstat.
