How do historical and literary details contribute to a coherent theological witness to Jesus in the Gospel of John? A leading British evangelical New Testament scholar answers that question with studies on themes from messianism to monotheism, symbolic actions from foot-washing to fish-catching, literary contexts from Qumran to the Hellenistic historians, and figures from Nicodemus to "the beloved disciple" to Papias. Originally published in various journals and collections, these essays are now available for the first time in one affordable volume with a substantial new introduction that ties them all together. It is a must-have for serious students of the Fourth Gospel.

    This is a scholarly work and will be required reading for all who are interested in New Testament research and Johannine scholarship in particular. It examines new work by exegesists and provides new insights into recent trends in the study of this gospel. The author closely examines historical, narrational and theological features of the gospel and challenges our received understanding of the text. The book is full of new and surprising ideas and merits close attention from those desirous of a deeper understanding of the origin and significance of John's gospel.

    This is a scholarly work and will be required reading for all who are interested in New Testament research and Johannine scholarship in particular. It examines new work by exegesists and provides new insights into recent trends in the study of this gospel. The author challenges in particular the dominant approach to the fourth gospel, his main thesis being that the Gospel according to John is not the work of the apostle John the son of Zebedee but the product of a Johannine community, written by a disciple who was not one of the Twelve but who was “the disciple Jesus loved”. The author closely examines historical, narrational and theological features of the gospel and challenges our received understanding of the text. The book is full of new and surprising ideas and merits close attention from those desirous of a deeper understanding of the origin and significance of John’s gospel.
