Item Description...
Drawing on the insights of ancient literary theory and practice, this book seeks to unlock the age-old puzzle of the relationship of John's gospel to the other gospels and to the early Christian church. Applying a new method to an old problem, Brodie uses a form of source analysis that takes account of the practices of ancient writers to reveal John as someone who deliberately rendered the earlier gospels into a new language. The deeply theological, and at the same time more down-to-earth voice characteristic of John is revealed to be not that of a marginal community ("the Johannine community") but of an independent prophetic presence within the mainstream church. |

 | Useful Reference Source for the Gospel of John Apr 28, 2006 |
| This book takes a very scholarly approach to the fourth gospel. Brodie presents influences upon John, including Gnosticism, Hellenism, and Judaism. The first quarter of the book is historical, including the history of scholarship on the writing of the gospels. The middle half of the book, the most useful, can aid in the exegesis of the gospels if used with the Bible. Many tables illustrate the similarities of the gospels, and John's use of several sources, including the other gospels, the Pentateuch and Paul's letter to the Ephesians. The final part of the book is reference, including appendices, indexes, and an extensive bibliography.
