Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers of the Fourth Gospel have always been moved to the use of superlatives in its exposition. The most fascinating of the Gospels, in so many ways, has been the subject of enquiry by many of the best minds in biblical scholarship in the past decades, and this is amply illustrated in the pages of Novum Testamentum. This selection of essays on John presents a tapestry of critical insights into the origins and composition of the Gospel from the hands of many of the world's leading Johannine scholars writing since the Second World War. A number of these articles have been seminal for a generation of scholarship in the field. Taken together they constitute a treasury of insights and a representative grounding in the critical study of the Gospel since Bultmann.
