In A Journey Round John Wendy E. S. North considers a range of
themes relevant to the interpretation of the Fourth Gospel. First,
the relationship between the Gospel and 1 John. North explores the
value of the Epistle as a means of identifying traditional material
the evangelist knew; on which basis she appeals to 1 John to
account for the form of Jesus' prayer in chapter 11. Second, John's
Christology in which North looks to John's cultural roots in
monotheistic Judaism to understand his capacity to align Jesus with
God. Third, the crucial issue of 'the Jews' in John, where North
clarifies the data by observing a narrative logic in John's use of
the expression. Fourth, North identifies John's 'anticipated'
eschatology as a consolation strategy aimed at a readership
struggling under life-threatening circumstances in the absence of
Jesus. Finally, North looks at John and the Synoptics, and
demonstrates how evidence drawn from the Gospel itself can serve to
indicate whether or not John composed directly on the basis of the
Synoptic record. This collection draws together a number of
ground-breaking studies from over thirty years of work on the
Fourth Gospel, presenting a coherent development of thought on this
crucial Christian text.
