This study was defended as a dissertation in Groningen (1998). The
first monograph in the series, it studies the Acts of John in its
second-century context and sheds new light on the text, which was
probably written in Asia Minor before the year 150 AD. Lalleman
shows that both the Gnostic and the non-Gnostic sections of the
Acts of John owe much more to the canonical books of the New
Testament than has been assumed. The enigma of the Gnostic section
is solved by the discovery that it forms the second stage of
initiation into a Gnostic form of Christianity. Read in this way,
both sections of the Acts of John turn out to be important steps on
the trajectory from the Fourth Gospel to Gnosticism. Penetrating
investigations of the Christology and the attitude towards
asceticism in the Acts of John complete the book (Peeters 1998)
