Mimesis is a fundamental and pervasive human concept, but has
attracted little attention from Johannine scholarship. This is
unsurprising, since Johannine ethics, of which mimesis is a part,
has only recently become a fruitful area of research. Bennema
contends that scholars have not yet identified the centre of
Johannine ethics, admittedly due to the fact that mimesis is not
immediately evident in the Johannine text because the usual
terminology for mimesis is missing. This volume is the first
organized study on the concept of mimesis in the Johannine
literature. The aim of the study is to establish that mimesis is a
genuine Johannine concept, to explain its particulars and to show
that mimesis is integral to Johannine ethics. Bennema argues that
Johannine mimesis is a cognitive, creative process that shapes the
believer's identity and behaviour within the context of the divine
family. Besides being instrumental in people's moral
transformation, mimesis is also a vital mechanism for mediating the
divine reality to people
