The testimony of the beloved disciple : narrative, history, and theology in the Gospel of John

Richard Bauckham (Author)
How do historical and literary details contribute to a coherent theological witness to Jesus in the Gospel of John? Richard Bauckham 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. - Publisher
