Gospel Note:
The challenge here is to set a most familiar and beloved New
Testament verse (3:16) into its proper textual context, which is
a matter of life and judgment, light and darkness. It should be
noticed, too, that what precedes and follows verse 16 at least
suggests a non-Pauline understanding of belief as something
humanly generated as a response to Christ's Passion rather than
divinely given in that event.
