Jorg Frey has devoted decades of his scholarly career to exploring
the rich landscape of John's Gospel. Frey chronicles the results of
this work in The Glory of the Crucified One, demonstrating how the
Gospel sits at the very heart of the New Testament witness. Frey
begins by locating his approach to the Gospel in relation to five
classic ways John has been interpreted (Part 1) and by offering a
summary of the results of his own interpretation, in which Frey
argues that the Gospel forms the apex of New Testament theology
(Part 5). In between, Frey first untangles several problems, such
as questions of anti-Judaism, dualism, and docetism, that are
characteristic of any discussion of John's Gospel (Part 2). From
there, he focuses attention on the weighty events that, for John,
form the crucial "hour" of Jesus - the death, resurrection, and
glorification of Christ (Part 3). Frey then builds on this central
theme to explore the Christology and theology of John (Part 4). The
Glory of the Crucified One underscores the central message Frey
sees in the Gospel: "John's post-Easter memory (anamnesis) of the
Jesus story aims at communicating that Jesus, who was crucified,
has actually been glorified and is present in the realm of God, and
in spite of his apparent absence from this world he is present in
the community of believers through the Spirit." For John, according
to Frey, there is no concealment of the cruel reality of Jesus'
death on the cross. The narrative of Jesus' trial and his
crucifixion deliberately shapes its readers' perception of the
truth of faith visualized in John's narration. In the end, readers
should contemplate the ""pierced,"" crucified one as the source of
their life and their communion with God. Not for sale in Europe.
