Straight Bible continues the G. Campbell Morgan series with Morgan’s study of John the Apostle—the disciple Jesus loved—and how the Lord dealt with this seer, poet, and “son of thunder.”

We walk through John’s background (son of Zebedee and Salome; partner in the fishing business; cousin of Jesus after the flesh), his appearances across the Gospels, and Morgan’s focus: our Lord’s methods with John—challenging what he sought, calling him into the higher business of the kingdom, correcting intolerance and a vengeful spirit, and finally using this questing soul to unveil Christ in glory, grace, and government (including the book of Revelation).
Previously wrapped Andrew; this episode turns to John.
