Joerg Frey has devoted decades of his scholarly career to exploring
the rich landscape of John's Gospel. He chronicles the results of
this work in this volume, demonstrating how the Gospel sits at the
very heart of the New Testament witness. The author 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 Joerg Frey
argues that the Gospel forms the apex of New Testament theology
(Part 5). In between, he 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). The author then builds on this
central theme to explore the Christology and theology of John (Part
4). This volume underscores the central message Joerg 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
Joerg 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. Published in the US by
Baylor University Press, Waco.
