The Shema (Deut. 6:4-5) remains the centerpiece of Jewish prayer, proclaiming divine unity even while summoning God’s people to loyalty and loving obedience. In her recent book, Lori A. Baron, argues that John’s Gospel uses the Shema to portray Jesus’ unity with God.  Tune in as we speak with Lori Baron about her book, The Shema in John’s Gospel (Mohr Siebeck, 2022). Lori A. Baron taught Greek language at Duke Divinity School, and is Assistant Professor of New Testament at St. Louis University.
