The Riddles of the Fourth Gospel

More about the book

The Fourth Gospel has played an important role in the course of Christian theology and remains one of the most cherished writings of the New Testament. It is also one of the most controversial and deeply enigmatic, as scholars seek to unravel its mysteries through the application of different historical and literary-critical methods. Paul N. Anderson offers the student an innovative and accessible survey of the historical, literary, and theological ôriddlesö that continue to preoccupy John's readers. Lucid and generous in its use of sidebars, diagrams, questions for reflection, and annotated bibliography, The Riddles of the Fourth Gospel will guide the beginning or advanced student in their encounter with John.
