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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Wes Howard-Brook</note> <subject> <topic>Liberation theology</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">226.507</classification> <classification authority="ddc">W511-H85</classification> <identifier type="isbn">1592444016</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/18/_44624900_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/18/_44624900_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070727.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
