This study explores how the Fourth Gospel's use of Scripture
contributes to its characterization of Jesus. Utilizing
literary-rhetorical criticism, Myers approaches the Gospel in its
final form, paying particular attention to how Greco-Roman rhetoric
can assist in understanding the ways in which Scripture is employed
to support the presentation of Jesus. It offers further evidence in
favour of the Gospel's use of rhetoric (particularly the practices
of synkrisis, ekpharsis, and prosopopoiia), and gives scholars a
new way to use rhetoric to better understand the use of Scripture
in the Fourth Gospel and the New Testament as a whole. The book
proceeds in three parts. First, it examines ancient Mediterranean
practices of narration and characterization in relationship to the
Gospel, concluding with an analysis of the Johannine prologue. In
the second and third parts, it investigates explicit appeals to
Scripture that are made both in and outside of Jesus' discourses.
Through these analyses, Myers contends that the pervasive presence
of Scripture in quotations, allusions, and references acts as
corroborating evidence supporting the evangelist's presentation of
Jesus.
