This monograph on John 9 makes extensive use of premodern Christian
exegesis as a resource for New Testament studies. The study
reframes the existing critique of the two-level reading of John 9
as allegory in terms of premodern exegetical practices. It offers a
hermeneutical critique of the two-level reading strategy as a kind
of figural exegesis, rather than historical reconstruction, through
an extensive comparison with Augustine's interpretation of John 9.
A review of several premodern Christian readings of John 9 suggests
an alternative way of understanding this account in terms of
Greco-Roman rhetoric. John 9 resembles the rhetorical argumentation
associated with chreia elaboration and the complete argument to
display Jesus' identity as the Light of the World. This analysis
illustrates the inseparability of form and content, rhetoric and
theology, in the Fourth Gospel.
