A Comparative Handbook to the Gospel of John

John's discursive and narrative techniques are targeted in this volume by means of a fresh translation, in order to assess how streams of tradition, comparable to several Judaic literatures, may be seen to have been incorporated within characteristically Johannine cycles of presentation. The central section, "Analysis," as in previous books in the series "The New Testament Gospels in Their Judaic Contexts," sets out resources of particular note for understanding John, and constitutes the principal focus. An Epilogue provides a resume of the cycles and streams of presentation, providing an explanation of John's radical departure from the structure of the Synoptic Gospels.
