    The Gospel of John is considered the most Jewish of the Gospels because it structures Jesus's ministry around Jewish religious feasts. The author of John frequently relates Jesus's activities to the nearest Jewish feast, mentioning feasts like Passover. This implies the Gospel was purposefully constructed around these feasts important to Judaism. By connecting Jesus's works to his interaction with the feasts and respect for Jewish culture, John presents a more grounded view of Jesus within Jewish society, making him more relatable to Jewish people. Scholars like Eileen Guilding believe John's framework emphasizes the feasts in a way that appeals to Jewish audiences specifically.

    Descrizione originale:

    It is often said that John is the Gospel to the world (Matthew to the Jew, Mark to the Romans, Luke to the Greeks). But in 1924 Israel Abrahams said, “To us Jews, the Fourth Gospel is the most Jewish of the four!” How is that so?
