Description for The Jewish Targums and John`s Logos Theology
Paperback. BIC Classification: HRCG; HRCM; HRJT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 228 x 154 x 21. Weight in Grams: 550.
At the beginning of his gospel, John refers to Jesus Christ as the Logos--the "Word." John Ronning makes a case that the Jewish Targums--interpretive translations of the Old Testament into Aramaic that were read in synagogues--hold the key to understanding John's Logos title. Examining numerous texts in the fourth gospel in the light of the Targums, Ronning shows how connecting the Logos with the targumic Memra (word) unlocks the meaning of a host of theological themes that run throughout the Gospel of John.
