This Sunday’s Speaker—Dr. Sharon Betsworth, Understanding the Gospel of John Those who are familiar with the Gospels in the New Testament readily see the vast differences between the first three gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, and the fourth gospel, The Gospel of John. Why is this latest gospel so different from the firs three? Or is it? This talk will explore some of the often overlooked similarities with the other gospels and also why John is really a different kind of gospel.

She has been on the faculty at OCU since 2007, and also teaches for Saint Paul School of Theology at Oklahoma City University.
