Image Title: John Writes His Gospel

Description: A stylized rendering of John composing his gospel while having a vision of the incarnation and being accompanied by an eagle. The eagle symbolizes John's gospel, drawing on Ezekiel 1:10, which refers to four creatures, each of which was associated by Irenaeus (d. 220) with one of the four New Testament gospels.
