This volume contains cutting-edge scholarship on literary, theological, and historical aspects of the opening of the narrative in the Gospel of John (John 1:19-2:22), produced by the Colloquium Ioanneum, an international group of leading scholars.
The essays in this volume provide significant insights into both the Gospel and current Johannine scholarship. The beginning of John’s narrative presents interpreters with tantalizing issues. The elusive narrator introduces the witness of the Baptist, then leaves the scene. What is the function of the Isaianic quotation? What is the role of purification in John, the identity of the unnamed disciple, the meaning of the title, “the lamb of God,” the “greater things” Jesus promises the disciples will see, the role of the ascending and descending angels, or Jesus’ curt response to his mother? These essays also illustrate how, while the Gospel creatively develops and recasts traditional material, it also calls for its readers to actively engage in dialogue with the text. Contributors: R. Alan Culpepper, Jorg Frey, Christos Karakolis, Craig R. Koester, William Loader, Marianne Meye Thompson, George L. Parsenios, Adele Reinhartz, Udo Schnelle, Michael Theobald, Jan G. van der Watt, Catrin H. Williams, Ruben Zimmermann, Jean Zumstein
