Exploring the Absence of Sacraments in St. John's Gospel

This chapter delves into the absence of traditional sacraments like baptism and the Eucharist in St. John's Gospel, sparking a discussion on whether the community or the author behind the Gospel held an anti-sacramental stance. The speakers question the timing and significance of the institution of the Eucharist by Christ in relation to the events and teachings described in the Gospel, leading to an analysis of passages from John 6 and the metaphorical nature of eating flesh and drinking blood.
