Entry: The Presentation of Jesus in John's Gospel (In progress) - A27167853
Author: LibrarianPear - U2218784

Hello all. I've been working on this for a long while (on and off) and I think it *might* be finished, but I just wanted other people's opinions about whether they think it needs more work or whether it would be safe to submit it to the Edited Guide.

All comments gratefully received, but please be gentle! Thanks, LP.

I think this is tremendous. I'm not an expert on the subject matter, but I see no reason why this shouldn't go into PR straight away. I just found one minor point confusing:

'The author of John’s Gospel...'

I've always presumed that the author was John, but I'm obviously wrong The gist I got from reading your Entry is that we're not sure who the author of the gospel was, and if that is the case it's probably worth mentioning right at the start, give us a bit of explanation.

Nice work

I'll have to come back later, but if Skanky thinks it's ready for PR, I'm sure it is. Hopefully I'll be reading it there!

This is one of the entries listed on the Challenge h2g2 page, isn't? The life of Jesus through the gospels is one of the ones they really want.

Well I cant see much to say other than well done.

A small point an addition please, can you cover the differance between Gnostic and Synoptic a footnote will do it just avoid confusion
Gnostic and Synoptic the words are similar to the casual reader

(from Greek gnōsis, knowledge)
(from Greek, opsis, seeing)

Plus a word or two to define the differance.

good work I am imprssed.

Bob.

Dazzling work there Librarian.

I just spotted one typo -

>> Glorify the Son, that the Son my glorify you- John 17:1 << Son may glorify

and I don't know whether I missed it or not but John 3:16 I think is possibly the most famous of all bible verses.

I'd put this in PR if I were you.

Hi Skanyrich, thanks for your comment. According to most scholars we're not definitely sure about who the author was. It most likely was John, but some scholars disagree. I will briefly mention this at the beginning and try not to get bogged down in it!

Hi Elentari (sorry am replying to comments individually, otherwise I'll forget who asked what!). Yes, this was on the Challenge page and I was silly enough to take it on! It's taken me ages to actually get round to (hopefully) finishing it.

Thanks Bob. Will add the footnote as you suggest.

Hi Fizzymouse. Will alter the typo, thanks for spotting that!

Have now made suggested changes. Would anyone mind having a look and letting me know if it's ok? Thanks.

My only two comments - and they're really more PR type comments - are these:

"Jesus as king of Israel(verse 49)," You need a space before the bracket there.

Also, I'd like it if you could put a footnote explaining what logos means, and also italicise it as a foreign word. Not sure if that's House Style though, to be honest.

It's definitely ready for PR.

This is finished as far as I can see, good work off to PR I'd say.

Well, I am going to put it into PR and see what happens...
