Sosa Siliezar investigates the presence and significance of
creation imagery in the Gospel of John. He argues that John has
intentionally included only a limited (albeit significant) number
of instances of creation imagery and that he has positioned them
carefully to highlight their significance. Sosa Siliezar contends
that the instances of creation imagery used in varying contexts
function collectively in a threefold way that is consonant with
John's overall argument. First, John uses them to portray Jesus in
close relationship with his Father, existing apart from and prior
to the created order. Second, John uses creation imagery to assert
the primal and universal significance of Jesus and the message
about him, and to privilege him over other important figures in the
story of Israel. Third, John uses creation imagery to link past
reality with present and future reality, portraying Jesus as the
agent of creation whom the reader should regard as the primal agent
of revelation and salvation. The book concludes by underscoring how
these findings inform our understanding of John's Christology and
Johannine dualism.
