Gospel of John (CBS)/Week 2/Study Guide

I have composed the following questions to help you study for the Unit 2 Test in four weeks. These questions are similar to the ones that will be on the test, and might even be the same. I'd suggest focusing on answering them as if they were test questions, because then you will be more prepared to answer them. You can use the Week 2, 3, 4, and 5 talk pages to seek assistance with these questions and I will personally answer questions at weekly meetings.
