This reading is grounded in a poetics of biblical narrative` that balances attention to historical, ideological, and aesthetic aspects of John's Gospel while highlighting its relevance for today. By committing himself to a close analysis of the text as symbolic action` Howard-Brook makes it clear how John's Gospel fairly bristles with references to societal conditions that demand a direct response. Throughout the commentary, his close attention to literary structure as well as social background yields new insights into the often-obscure message of the Fourth Gospel.  aLiberation theology4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/18/_44624900_140.jpgyCover Image
