John's Gospel has traditionally been regarded as the least
apocalyptic document in the New Testament. This exciting new
collection redresses the balance by exploring the ways in which the
apocalyptic literature of Second Temple Judaism has contributed to
the theology and outlook of John's Gospel. Given that John, like
the Jewish apocalyptic texts, is primarily concerned with the theme
of revelation, the contributors examine how apocalyptic ideas can
help to explain the Johannine portrayal of Jesus as the messenger
sent from heaven to reveal the divine mysteries, as well as the
Gospel's presentation of the activity of the Spirit, its
understanding of evil, and the intended effects of this 'apocalypse
in reverse' on its readers and hearers. The highly distinguished
contributors include, John Ashton, Christopher Rowland, April
DeConick, Judith Lieu and Jorg Frey.
