The Gospel according to St John, often regarded as the most
important of the gospels in the account it gives of Jesus' life and
divinity, received close attention from nineteenth-century biblical
scholars and prompted a significant response in the arts. This
original interdisciplinary study of the cultural afterlife of John
in Victorian Britain places literature, the visual arts and music
in their religious context. Discussion of the Evangelist, the
Gospel and its famous prologue is followed by an examination of
particular episodes that are unique to John. Michael Wheeler's
research reveals the depth of biblical influence on British culture
and on individuals such as Ruskin, Holman Hunt and Tennyson. He
makes a significant contribution to the understanding of culture,
religion and scholarship in the period.
