The Wisdom of St. John provides a portrait of Jesus as his friends and adversaries knew him, before his words and teachings were interpreted by those who came after. In separating history from legend, it sheds fresh light on the true meaning of many Christian dogmas. One central tenet of the book is that, by dying without hatred, Jesus performed the ultimate deed of spiritual liberation for all humanity, making it possible for spiritual help to reach seeking human beings more easily.

The book references the wisdom of St. John, whose gospel Bô Yin Râ considered to be closest to the authentic teachings of Jesus.
