"Metzger addresses the question of what happens when God, who is
love, comes to town and lives among us. Some may welcome him, some
may question His presence, and others may even consider him a
threat. John's Gospel teaches readers what it means to be friends
and lovers of God, what putting love to death is, and what it means
for love to rise again."
