John's wisdom a commentary on the Fourth Gospel
Ben Witherington, III
- USA Westminster John Knox Press
- 411tr. Paperback 23cm
`The portrayal of Jesus in the Fourth Gospel is remarkably dissimilar to the Jesus found in the synoptic gospels. Ben Witherington places the Gospel of John within its proper literary, historical, social, and theological contexts, with a special emphasis on dealing with the wisdom traditions of Hellenistic Judaism. What emerges is a compelling argument that the Gospel of John has an agenda for mission, in addition to concerns for discipleship and community life.` -- From book cover.
