In the years following the death of Jesus Christ, John the Apostle, now a frail, blind old man, lives in forced exile on the desolate island of Patmos with a tiny group of his disciples. Together, the group has endured their banishment, but after years awaiting Christ's return, fissures form within their faith, and, inevitably, one of John's followers disavows Christ's divinity and breaks away from the city, threatening to improve the course of Christianity. When the Roman emperor lifts the banishment of Christians, John and his followers are permitted to return to Ephesus, a chaotic world of competing religious sects where Christianity is at risk of vanishing. It is from this turbulent background—and inspired by Jesus's radical message of love and forgiveness—that John comes to dictate his Gospel.Immensely impressive—and predicated on actual historical events—John is at once an ambitious and provocative reimagining of the last surviving apostle and a powerful take a look at faith and exactly how it lives and dies in the hearts of men.
