Was Mary Magdalene really mistaken when she took the Risen Lord to
be a 'gardener' working near the tomb where Christ was laid after
the crucifixion? In this compelling volume, Anthony M. Moore
persuasively argues that Jesus must be recognised, at a theological
level, as the Gardener: the Creator-God Himself. The author
skilfully examines the strong evidence available to the reader that
the narrative material of the Book of Signs (John 2-12), together
with the 'High Priestly Prayer' of John 17, is deliberately infused
with the fundamental theme of creation. The first sentence of the
Gospel, 'in the beginning', meaningfully echoes the start of
Genesis, and sets the tone for what is to come. 'Creation
indicators', or leitmotifs, which link the signs narratives in the
Fourth Gospel to the sequence of the days of creation, are unpicked
in this volume in a careful survey of the placement of particular
nouns and verbs within the narratives and how often they occur.
Upon these foundations, the author builds his strikingly original
thesis: that each miraculous 'sign' of John 2-12 corresponds to a
day of creation, and that, subtly but unmistakably, John intends to
reveal Jesus as the Creator in all His glory. A book that offers a
novel and enlightening way of reading John's Gospel, 'Signs of
Salvation' will interest any reader seeking a deeper understanding
of a fundamental truth about Christ's nature: He is the God of
creation, at one with and participating in the creative work of the
Father.
