Gospel of John
... that the Gospel of John is the most theological of the four canonical gospels, containing structured discourses but no parables as in the synoptic gospels?
- Comment: Open to other ideas for the hook; this was the first thing that came to mind but I think there's room for improvement in the "interesting" department.

- it's not appropriate to say that it contains no parables, as that is evidently a matter of opinion and dispute: the article says "Most scholars consider John not to contain any parables... Some scholars, however, find some such parables in the Fourth Gospel..." StAnselm (talk) 00:28, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

- Yes it does - the problem is that it makes it even longer, and it is far too convoluted for a hook. StAnselm (talk) 01:53, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- Now that you mention it, you're right. Do you have any other ideas? Jujutsuan (Please notify with {{re}} talk | contribs) 02:00, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, it's better to stick to factual claims, rather than scholarly opinion - even if that is approaching a consensus. This doesn't have a reference in the article yet, but how about...
- ALT2:
... that the Gospel of John never mentions Jesus' mother by name?

Template:Outdent I like that a lot, and I just added refs for it. But I would rephrase it like this:
- ALT3:
... that the Gospel of John never mentions the mother of Jesus by name?
- or
- ALT4: ... that the Gospel of John never mentions Jesus' mother Mary by name?

Date and length OK. I am going to approve ALT4 as the original is a bit wordy and as for the other ALTs, just because John didn't include it doesn't mean we shouldn't. QPQ done, no close para. No image. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:35, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
