Not Just True, but Beautiful: The Temple Blueprint in John’s Gospel - Ovidiu Hanc

Why does the Gospel of John begin Jesus’ public ministry with the cleansing of the temple, while the Synoptics place it at the end? Is this a historical variation—or is John inviting us to see something deeper? What if the structure of the Gospel itself is part of its message? This workshop explores a compelling theological vision: that the Gospel of John is intentionally shaped as a literary and theological temple, with resurrection as its interpretive key. Far from being a loose collection of stories, John’s Gospel unfolds with striking coherence, artistry, and aesthetic intentionality. John’s narrative is not only true—it is beautifully constructed. The Word made flesh does not simply communicate information; He reveals glory. Participants are invited to rediscover Scripture as beautifully crafted revelation that deepens faith, enriches understanding, and awakens awe.
