Introduction Follow-Up
Ok, Carrie brought up a question about the synoptic Gospels and what that meant, since John is not one of the synoptics. Well, I looked it up and Matthew, Mark, and Luke are the synoptics since they are very similar. They have most of the same stories, etc... and were written around the same time. I will try and do follow-ups more quickly next time.

I don't know if this has to do with John not being "synoptic", but here is some interesting information on this Gospel.
1. 6 of the 8 miracles are unique to John.
2. More than 90% of the content in John is unique to this book.
3. This book's intent was not to be a biography of Jesus, but to demonstrate conclusively that Jesus is the Son of God, the only source of eternal life.
*These are notes from my NIV Life Application Study Bible.
Good info!
