In the Gospel of John, the character of Jesus repeatedly comes into
conflict with a group pejoratively designated as 'the Jews'. In
chapter 8 of the Gospel this conflict could be said to reach a
head, with Jesus labeling the Jews as children 'of the devil'
(8:44) - a verse often cited as epitomizing early Christian
anti-Judaism. Using methods derived from modern and post-modern
literary criticism Ruth Sheridan examines textual allusions to the
biblical figures of Cain and Abraham in John 8:1-59. She pays
particular attention to how these allusions give shape to the
Gospel's alleged and infamous anti-Judaism (exemplified in John
8:44). Moreover, the book uniquely studies the subsequent reception
in the Patristic and Rabbinic literature, not only of John 8, but
also of the figures of Cain and Abraham. It shows how these figures
are linked in Christian and Jewish imagination in the formative
centuries in which the two religions came into definition.
