In Year A, four of the Sunday Gospel readings in Lent are from John, the Bishop writes. “John is often treated like a poor relative to the other three Gospels, with scholars doubting his historical veracity, so I thought it would be good to reflect on the prevoius Sunday’s Gospel and see what John had to say.” The title of each session is taken from a favourite song.
