Susanne Luther demonstrates how the Gospel of John, through its specific use of literary strategies of authentication, is conceived both as a historiographical account of past events and, at the same time, as a narrative of the incarnate Son of God that transcends the conventions of historiographical narration.
English summary: The Gospel of John recounts events of the past with a claim to historical referentiality. This is achieved on the one hand through literary strategies that construct the authenticity of the events narrated, and on the other hand through strategies that counteract this constructed authenticity. Susanne Luther explains how readers are thus led to perceive the story of Jesus as a representation of real historical events and the Incarnation as a profoundly earthly-historical event, while at the same time recognizing Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ, the incarnate Son of God, due to the “breaking” of earthly-historical authentication. The Johannine historiography thus brings to bear a central Christological concern that goes beyond a historiographical-biographical narrative. German description: Das Johannesevangelium erzahlt Ereignisse der Vergangenheit mit einem Anspruch auf historische Referenzialitat. Dies erfolgt einerseits durch literarische Strategien, die die Authentizitat der erzahlten Ereignisse konstruieren, und andererseits durch solche, die diese konstruierte Authentizitat konterkarieren. Susanne Luther legt dar, wie Leserinnen und Leser dadurch veranlasst werden, die Jesuserzahlung einerseits als Darstellung realer geschichtlicher Ereignisse und die Inkarnation als zutiefst irdisch-geschichtliches Ereignis wahrzunehmen, andererseits aufgrund der “Brechung” der irdisch-geschichtlichen Authentifizierung Jesus von Nazareth als den Christus, den inkarnierten Gottessohn, zu erkennen. Die johanneische Geschichtsdarstellung bringt somit ein zentrales christologisches Anliegen zum Tragen, das uber eine historiographisch-biographische Erzahlung hinausgeht.
