The Dispensational Place of the Gospel of John

Some contend that the Gospel of John is the Gospel for the Church of the Dispensation of the Mystery. In "The Dispensational Basis of John's Gospel," Glen Burch makes a scholarly study of John's Gospel in order to determine if this is a correct view. His conclusions may surprise some.

"In this study I shall examine the proposition that the Gospel of John was intended to address a second calling of believers today, apart from the church the body of Christ. It is my conclusion that this Gospel addresses the blessings and hope of Israel." Glen Burch
