Extending the parameters of usual thematic studies, this
examination of a literary motif in the Gospel of John explores all
passages related to ingesting, including references to food and
drink; actions of eating, drinking, feeding and serving; references
to words drawn from the domain of ingesting (e.g., "tasting
death'); and the six stories that take place during a meal.
Consistently, ingesting language is used to describe both the role
of Jesus as the one who is incarnate as "flesh" but who must die in
order that others might eat and live, and the role of the believer
as one who must "eat and drink Jesus" The ingesting motif thus is
an important way to talk about salvation in the Gospel. At the same
time, the prevalence and effectiveness of this ingesting motif
affirms that eating and drinking were significant in the Johannine
community, perhaps reflecting Eucharistic practice. This study
draws sociological conclusions from literary analysis, and develops
a new methodology in biblical literary criticism.
