Richard Bauckham
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. These essays are now available for the first time in one volume with a substantial new introduction that ties them all together.
Raymond Brown
This study in Johannine ecclesiology reconstructs the history of one Christian community in the first century: a community whose life from its inception to its last hour is reflected in the Gospel and Epistles of John.
This volume represents the culmination of Brown's long and intense examination of part of the New Testament. Brown presents a new perspective on the historical development of the Gospels. In addition, there is an entire section devoted to Christology as well as a magisterial new section on the representation of Jews in the Gospel of John.
