John

Traditionally regarded as the loopiest/most spiritual of the gospels, it is notably more high-falutin’ in tone than the other three. Some of it is lovely actually, particularly the opening passage.

I am struck by the fact that two of the gospels don’t bother with the nativity at allhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif, only one mentions Mary’s virginity and that is based on a mistranslation of the Hebrew word for young woman. Crazy shit, man.
