(For the 1991 ed.) As a summary of Johannine scholarship through 1970, the work is quite good; as a barometer of the present state of affairs, the work is quite dated and hence disappointing. In conclusion, I believe its greatest contributions--simply outstanding, in my opinion--to lie in the literary matrix it proposes for the Gospel and in the wealth of information it provides on a host of issues and topics. (For the 1991 ed.) This volume is beautifully written, often displaying a subtle sense of humor. Where there is exegesis, it is careful and meticulous. (For the 1991 ed.) This significant contribution to the debate on Johannine Gospel origins offers nuanced insights, serious evaluations of other scholars, and is sensitively and economically written. There are impressive appeals to classical and modern literature and to a wide range of literary theory and art in order to understand John's intention and impact.
In this fully revised new edition of a pioneering study of John's gospel, John Ashton explores fresh topics and takes account of the latest scholarly debates. Ashton argues first that the thought-world of the gospel is Jewish, not Greek, and secondly that the text is many-layered, not simple, and composed over an extended period as the evangelist responded to the changing situation of the community he was addressing. Ashton seeks to provide new and coherent answers to what Rudolf Bultmann called the two great riddles of the gospel: its position in the development of Christian thought and its central or governing idea. In arguing that the first of these should be concerned rather with Jewish thought Ashton offers a partial answer to the most important and fascinating of all the questions confronted by New Testament scholarship: how did Christianity emerge from Judaism? Bultmann's second riddle is exegetical, and concerns the message of the book. Ashton's answer highlights a generally neglected feature of the gospel's concept of revelation: its debt to Jewish apocalyptic. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
