The contribution of the Johannine literature to the development of
Christian theology, and particularly to Christology, is
uncontested, although careful distinction between the implications
of its language, especially that of sonship, in a first century
'Jewish' context and in the subsequent theological controversies of
the early Church has been particularly important if not always
easily sustained. Recent study has shaken off the weight of
subsequent Christian appropriation of Johannine language which has
sometimes made readers immune to the ambiguities and challenging
tensions in its thought. The Oxford Handbook of Johannine Studies
begins with chapters concentrating on discussions of the background
and context of the Johannine literature, leading to the different
ways of reading the text, and thence to the primary theological
themes within them, before concluding with some discussion of the
reception of the Johannine literature in the early church.
Inevitably, given their different genres and levels of complexity,
some chapters pay most if not all attention to the Gospel, whereas
others are more able to give a more substantial place to the
letters. All the contributors have themselves made significant
contributions to their topic. They have sought to give a balanced
introduction to the relevant scholarship and debate, but they have
also been able to present the issues from their own perspective.
The Handbook will help those less familiar with the Johannine
literature to get a sense of the major areas of debate and why the
field continues to be one of vibrant and exciting study, and that
those who are already part of the conversation will find new
insights to enliven their own on-going engagement with these
writings.
