Jesus in John's Gospel ─ Structure and Issues in Johannine Christology

Insights into John's Gospel and Jesus from a renowned scholar

The culmination of a lifetime of work on the Gospel of John, William Loader's Jesus in John's Gospelexplores the Fourth Gospel as a whole, focusing on ways in which attention to the structure of Christology in John allows for greater understanding of Johannine themes and helps resolve long-standing interpretive impasses.

Following an introductory examination of the profound influence of Rudolf Bultmann on Johannine studies, Loader takes up the central interpretive issues and debates surrounding Johannine Christology and explores the death of Jesus and the salvation event in John. With an exhaustive bibliography and careful, well-articulated conclusions that take into account the latest research on John, this volume will be useful to scholars and students alike.
