Surely no subject was as close to their hearts as the words and deeds of Jesus. Mary's unique perspective and intimate knowledge of her Son must have shaped the account of Jesus' life that John would eventually compose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With the same scholarship, imagination, and fidelity that he applied to Mark's Gospel in \u003ci\u003eThe Memoirs of St. Peter\u003c\/i\u003e, Pakaluk brings out the voice of Mary in John's, from the famous prologue about the Incarnation of the Word to the Evangelist's closing avowal of the reliability of his account. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This remarkably fresh translation and commentary will deepen your understanding of the most sublime book of the New Testament.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMICHAEL PAKALUK\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of ethics and social philosophy in the Busch School of Business at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., and a member of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas.
