The God of the Gospel of John

Thompson, Marianne Meye

The God of the Gospel of John Marianne Meye Thompson - U.S.A. William B. Eerdmans Pub. Co. 2001 - 269tr. paperback, illustrations 23cm

This study makes an immediate and profound contribution on three fronts. First, it brings much-needed clarity to the larger question of what it means simply to speak of God. Second, it overturns the widespread consensus that the Gospel of John is focused on Jesus by locating christology within theology. Third, it under- takes a genuinely theological reading of a central New Testament book while taking seriously at the same time the historical and ecclesial location of John's narrative. Characterized throughout by gracious, penetrating engagement with the Fourth Gospel and its modern readers and by maturity of reflection and insight, The God of the Gospel of John is a most welcome harbinger of the future of New Testament studies.
