Gospel of Glory

Major Themes in Johannine Theology.

Throughout Christian history, the Gospel of John's distinctive way of
presenting the life, works, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus have
earned it labels such as the spiritual Gospel" and "the maverick Gospel." It " has been seen as the most theological of the four canonical Gospels. In this
volume, leading biblical scholar Richard Bauckham illuminates main theological
themes of the Gospel of John, providing insightful analysis of key texts.

Some of the themes Bauckham addresses have been much neglected, and others have
been much debated during the past century of New Testament scholarship.
Bauckham sheds light on the individualism" apparent in John's portrayal of the " believer's relationship to Jesus and the mutual indwelling of individuals
(Jesus and God, the believer and Jesus); divine and human community; how Jesus
reveals God's glory and how disciples participate in it; John's understanding
of the key events in his christological story; baptismal and eucharistic
overtones; the background and significance of John's dualistic language; and
how John's language evokes multiple meanings without negating the literal sense
of his narrative. A concluding chapter explores the significance for faith of
the differences between John and the other Gospels.

This compact volume will serve students as an ideal supplemental text in a
course on John or the four Gospels. Gospel of Glory will also serve New
Testament scholars and theologians as a reexamination of the Fourth Gospel by a
master of their guild.

These studies on the Gospel of John combine close attention to the details " of the text with an open sympathy for its themes and emphases. They are models
of theological exegesis. - Larry W. Hurtado"

We can be grateful that Professor Bauckham has chosen to devote his " considerable talents to an exploration of selected themes in Johannine
theology. While not aiming to be comprehensive, this volume makes a significant
contribution to the study of John's theological thought. No one interested in
Johannine theology can afford to ignore this important collection of
essays. - Andreas J. Köstenberger"
