Wisdom teacher named in a book with varied canonical reception. - Jesus Christ
Classical Protestant churches confess the eternal Son as truly divine and truly human. Jesus' life, cross, resurrection, and ascension are the center of the gospel and the ground of reconciliation with God. The… - Jesus Christ

Job's wisdom dialogue wrestles with suffering, justice, and the limits of human explanations of providence. - Joel
Joel moves from devastating loss and a call to communal return toward restoration, the gift of the Spirit, and the day of the Lord. Its date is debated; the book itself does not name the ruling king. - Joel
Prophetic book on the day of the Lord and outpouring of the Spirit. - Joel: repentance and the day of the Lord
Joel calls for communal repentance and promises the outpouring of God's Spirit; the book is difficult to date. - John
John presents Jesus through a prologue, signs, dialogues, a farewell discourse, passion, and resurrection appearances. Its language of life, light, belief, and abiding should be read in the flow of each scene. The… - John 13 — before the feast, during supper
John 13:1 permits an introductory reading concerning Jesus’ knowledge and love before the feast, while 13:2 enters the supper. Narrative parallels support identifying John’s supper with the Synoptic Last Supper. They… - John 18:28 — eat the Passover
