Studies in the Gospel of John and Its Christology brings together a number of essays in honor of Gilbert Van Belle, professor of New Testament Studies at the Catholic University of Leuven. Some thirty colleagues responded to the invitation to contribute an essay on an aspect of the Christology of the Fourth Gospel. The editors have tried to cover all the important passages, and many more, that deal with this crucial topic in Johannine studies, which was also very much a focus of Van Belle’s own research. The essays are arranged according to the structure of the gospel. The first two contributions deal with hermeneutical issues in the prologue. They are followed by essays on (parts of) each chapter, including the epilogue in John 21, and one essay on the faith and witness motif in 1 John 5,6-12. The volume also includes the complete academic bibliography of the honoree.
