"Commemorative Identities "represents a significantly new approach
to the issue of replacement/abrogation vs. continuation of Jewish
thought patterns and practices among Jewish Christ-followers as
they are addressed by the Johannine author. Previous studies have
been unable to elucidate a comprehensible argument to support
continuation of commemoration in the face of explicit Temple
replacement terminology in the Gospel.
This study provides that argument based upon known sociological
observations and models, and direct comparative analysis with
Jewish practices pre- and post-70. Mary Spaulding's study will
further invigorate scholarly debate concerning identity issues in
the Fourth Gospel, a topic of significant interest among Johannine
scholars today. More generally, the origins of Christianity as
portrayed in the Gospel of John are understood as a gradual
unfolding of and differentiation among various Jewish groups
post-Second Temple rather than as an abrupt break from an
established, normative Judaism.
