Judaean society in the first century did not conform to the
stereotypical 'Mediterranean honour culture', in that it lacked a
significant gentile population and was dominated by a powerful
religious elite. Timothy Ling argues that this demands a new
social-scientific approach to the Gospel and Letters of John that
moves away from the accepted 'sectarian' interpretation. He
attributes their distinctiveness instead to their roots in Jesus's
Judaean ministry, as contrasted with the Galilean ministry that has
attracted much recent study. In particular, Ling contends that the
numerous references to 'the poor' in the New Testament can be
better understood in the context of the 'alternative' ideologies
found among pietistic religious groups practising asceticism,
renunciation, and other forms of 'virtuoso religion' in
first-century Judaea. In doing so, he mounts a convincing challenge
to the current dominant reading of the Gospel of John as a product
of early Christian sectarianism.
