Few have failed to notice the increasing accommodation of
evangelicalism to worldly culture. Unless this trend is corrected,
evangelicalism will soon lose the distinctives that have catapulted
it to unparalleled success in the religious marketplace. This bold
work by Robert Gundry finds a powerful and much-needed antidote to
worldliness in John's Gospel. Built on a unique combination of
biblical exegesis, sociological analysis, and contemporary
application, the book traces the influence of Word-Christology
throughout the Gospel of John, unpacking its implications for North
American evangelicalism. Sure to generate discussion-even
controversy-are Gundry's adoption of a sectarian interpretation of
John and his evaluation of contemporary North American
evangelicalism. Seeing the evangelical tradition as having moved
far down the road from sect to mainline church, he argues that it
now needs a strong dose of John's logocentric sectarianism to avoid
losing the edge that has made it successful.
This commentary demonstrates Gundry's conviction that Matthew
relied on the Gospel of Mark and the document "Q." Furthemore,
Gundry argues for a combination of historical data and theological
embellishments in passages such as those that present the birth of
Jesus the Sermon on the Mount, and Peter's walking on the water.
