This pioneering commentary embraces the full scope and themes
raised in John's Gospel, offering an engaging and perceptive
reading. Mark Edwards explores a diverse range of excerpts and
creative responses, with particular emphasis on the treatment of
the Gospel in English poetry.
Explores the diverse themes and issues raised in John's Gospel, and
considers its influence on figures from Saint Augustine, to Dorothy
Sayers and Bob Dylan.
Treats well-known interpreters such as Thomas Aquinas along with
lesser-known figures such as the Gnostic Heracleon, and the
sixth-century hymn-writer, Romanos.
Brings ancient and modern commentators into dialogue with each
other, and takes a critical stance towards some parallels drawn by
modern scholars between the Gospel and the surrounding pagan
culture.
Features excerpts from a wide variety of poets who give a creative
interpretation of John's Gospel, and considers many artistic
representations.
Suggests that imaginative response can illuminate a reading of the
Bible where purely critical and historical analysis has proved
unsatisfactory.
An accessible introduction and extensive section notes address
interpretations of the Gospel from antiquity to the present.
