This volume contains cutting edge scholarship on the literary, theological, and philosophical issues in John 2:23-5:18 produced by the Colloquium Joanneum, an international group of scholars.
The essays in this volume from the 2017 session of the Colloquium Ioanneum in Jerusalem treat aspects of John 2:23-5:18, employing a variety of methods. These early chapters present interpreters with a challenging series of issues, including the strategy of revelation in John 3-4, the characterization of Nicodemus, the only references to the kingdom of God in John, Jesus’ role as Son of Man, the erga concept in the Fourth Gospel and the references to John’s baptism and Jesus’ baptism, the background and universal program of the narrative of the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman, the universal program in John 4, and the harvest proverbs in John 4:35-38. The last two essays explore the characterization of the royal official in John 4:46-54 and the evidence for associating the Pool of Bethzatha with healing. The essays demonstrate the astuteness of an observation made by Adele Reinhartz: the closer we look at a text the more it “pixilates” and the more open to interpretation it becomes. Contributors:R. Alan Culpepper, Jorg Frey, William R. G. Loader, Christos Karakolis, Craig R. Koester, Adele Reinhartz, Udo Schnelle, Michael Theobald, Francois Tolmie, Jan G. van der Watt, Catrin H. Williams, Ruben Zimmermann, Jean Zumstein
