"Recognizing the Stranger" is the first monographic study of
recognition scenes and motifs in the Gospel of John. The
recognition type-scene ("anagn?risis") was a common feature in
ancient drama and narrative, highly valued by Aristotle as a
touching moment of truth, e.g., in Oedipus' tragic self-discovery
and Odysseus' happy homecoming. The book offers a reconstruction of
the conventions of the genre and argues that it is one of the most
recurrent and significant literary forms in the Gospel. When
portraying Jesus as the divine stranger from heaven, the Gospel
employs and transforms the formal and ideological structures of the
type-scene in order to show how Jesus' true identity can be
recognized behind the half-mask of his human appearance.
