The Fourth Gospel and its predecessor From narrative source to present Gospel
Fortna, Robert Tomson (1930-...)
The Fourth Gospel and its predecessor From narrative source to present Gospel Robert Tomson Fortna - 1st. - U.S.A Fortress 1988 - 332tr. Hardcover 23cm
This is the groundbreaking sequel to Fortna's The Gospel of Signs which reconstructed a source underlying the Fourth Gospel narrative. Here he not only brings that reconstruction up to date but also provides commentary, section by section, on both the text of the reconstructed Johannine source and its redaction in canonical John (Part One). In Part Two, Fortna systematically draws together the theological movement from source to present Gospel covering such topics as Christology, the value of signs for faith, salvation, Jesus' death, eschatology and community, and `the Jews` in relation to geography in the Fourth Gospel. This work, then, provides a comprehensive and unique redaction-critical treatment of the whole Johannine narrative.
