In this volume, R. Alan Culpepper considers both the Gospel and
the Letters of John.
The book begins with a close look at the relationship between
John and the Synoptics and a summary of John's distinctive thought
and language. The second chapter addresses the fascinating issues
regarding the origins of the Gospel and the letters: authorship,
sources, and composition. The history of the Johannine community is
reviewed in chapter three. Chapter four interprets the plot of the
Gospel and prepares the student to read John as literature by
providing a brief orientation to narrative criticism.
The fifth chapter turns to more traditional concerns: John as
theology. This chapter provides a digest of the Christology,
theology, and eschatology of John. The sixth through the eighth
chapters, the heart of the book, guide the student through a
reading of the Gospel. The ninth chapter serves as an introduction
to the Letters, noting especially their relationship to the Gospel.
Each letter is treated in turn. The final chapter examines the
challenges and potential of the Johannine literature as documents
of faith.
"In previous writings Alan Culpepper has shown himself to be one
of the best Johannine scholars of our time. He not only
conveniently draws together his research but also shows himself to
be an excellent teacher." --Raymond E. Brown
