Summary
In this episode of the Magnus Podcast listen to John Johnson as guest leader of one of the Magnus Fellowship Cohort seminars as he explores the role of enthymemes—rhetorical devices that invite the reader to complete the argument for themselves—and argues that St. John uses them throughout his Gospel to reveal profound theological mysteries. From the Bread of Life discourse to the Last Supper, John presents how St. John draws readers into contemplation, friendship with Christ, and ultimately into the bosom of the Father. Along the way, he examines connections between Aristotle, rhetoric, tradition, betrayal, and the beloved disciple's unique vision of divine Truth.
