Critical Readings of John 6
Series: - Biblical Interpretation Series, Volume: 22
Volume Editor:
A collection of essays on John 6 illustrating various current approaches to biblical interpretation. To understand this chapter, one must deal with most of the issues that confront serious readers of the Fourth Gospel. Historical issues and questions regarding the composition of the Gospel, the nature of the Johannine community, the literary design of the Gospel and its theology all come to focus in a unique way in John 6. The essays in this volume are written by ten of the leading Johannine scholars in America, Australia, Europe and Scandinavia. The collection, therefore, provides an overview of current Johannine scholarship and a showcase for the various methodologies now being used in Gospel studies.
R. Alan Culpepper, Ph.D. (1974), Duke University, is Dean of the Mercer School of Theology. His publications include John, the Son of Zebedee: The Life of a Legend (1994) and "Luke" in the New Interpreter's Bible, Vol. 9 (1995).
