The book offers a playful yet insightful exploration of the Gospel According to John, emphasizing the theological insights that can be gained from careful reading. By re-creating key passages as theatrical scenes, the author highlights John's narrative brilliance while integrating biblical scholarship to uncover deeper meanings within the text. Through this engaging approach, readers are invited to discover new perspectives on Jesus and the stories that shape the Gospel.

Christians today tend to read the New Testament as victors, not as victims. The Gospels then become one story about individual salvation rather than distinct representations of Jesus's revolutionary work on behalf of victims. Scapegoats revisits the Gospels through the lens of the scapegoats' stories where the kingdom of God is revealed.
