Description for DISCOVERING JOHN Paperback. Comprehensive, up-to-date and student-friendly introduction to John's Gospel: its structure, content, theological concerns, key interpretative debates and historical reception. Special sections on the reception of John and its distinctive influence on Christian history. Num Pages: 256 pages. BIC Classification: HRCF2; HRCG3. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 232 x 157 x 21. Weight in Grams: 436.
This introduction to the interpretation of Matthew aims to encourage in-depth study of the text, and genuine grappling with the theological and historical questions raised, by providing a 'map' to the Gospel as a whole, and to key interpreters and interpretative debates. It draws on a range of methodological approaches (author-, text- and readercentred), as complementary rather than mutually exclusive ways of interpreting the text. In particular, this new introduction reflects the growing scholarly attention to the reception history of biblical texts, increasingly viewed as a vital aspect of interpretation rather than an optional extra.
